"Shock and awe on the London Games&amp;apos; gym floor.\r\nAs expected, Team USA&amp;apos;s female gymnastics team dominated the competition at Sunday&amp;apos;s preliminary rounds -- finishing 11 points ahead of second-place Britain -- but the day&amp;apos;s events ended in heartbreak for fan favorite Jordyn Wieber.\r\n\r\nLosing just two all-around competitions since 2008, 17-year-old Wieber was distraught after she placed behind her Team USA colleagues Aly Raisman and Gabby Douglas, delivering shaky performances during her balance beam and floor exercise routines.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;It was a bit of a disappointment. It has always been a dream of mine to compete in the all-around at the Olympics, but I&amp;apos;m proud of Aly and Gabby and happy they reached the all-around and that I was able to help the team get to the finals,&amp;quot; Weiber told Us Weekly in a statement after her competition Sunday. &amp;quot;I think from the beginning we were all looking very strong. It was always going to be close between the three of us doing the all-around, and in the end it was.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nWieber&amp;apos;s Team USA colleague, national team coordinator Martha Karolyi, applauded the teen for her efforts Sunday, sympathizing with the odds-on favorite. &amp;quot;I would be very disappointed, too. She is reigning world champion, also U.S. champion. Today she wasn&amp;apos;t quite as sharp,&amp;quot; Karolyi admitted. &amp;quot;She was very good but not quite as sharp and the other two girls surpassed her. So we will give her all the support. I think she gave a very nice effort, no major errors. What can you do? Sport is sport.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nRaisman and Douglas -- the only two allowed to represent Team USA -- will join 22 other athletes to compete for the all-around title Tuesday, the biggest gymnastic prize in this year&amp;apos;s Games.\r\nWant more Olympics?
