Too scared to misplace their gold medals, the U.S women's gymnasts carefully planned their hiding places. Jordyn Wieber slept with hers under her pillow. That wouldn't work for best friend Aly Raisman because "she sleeps with her arms under her pillows. She was too nervous to push it out while she slept," Wieber said. So Raisman stuck hers in a dresser drawer full of clothes. "I checked for it the minute I woke up. It was the first thing I did," she said. ___ EDITOR'S NOTE — "Eyes on London" shows you the Olympics through the eyes of Associated Press journalists across the 2012 Olympic city and around the world.
