WATCH: Aly Raisman's Parents Still Can't Handle Her Olympic Performance

Just like in 2012, Lynn and Rick Raisman had some trouble staying still during their daughter's competition.

They know the gymnastics routine by heart, they've experienced it a hundreds of time, and the most stressful moments came when it was time to compete.

But we're not talking about Needham's Aly Raisman and the US women's gymnastics team, we're talking about her parents Lynn and Rick Raisman.

Just like in 2012, the couple were easily the most stressed and uneasy during their daughter's performance Sunday. While Rick appeared to be somewhat tense, Lynn was as squirmy as one could be, at one point looking away from the competition.

A similar situation brought the Raisman parents into the spotlight during the 2012 London games. More stress and squirming is likely as their daughter competes for the team title Tuesday and in the individual competition later this week.
