LONDON (WHDH) -- The video has been everywhere, all over the Internet, and even making it on Nightly News with Brian Williams. It’s an inside look into the world of an Olympic parent.

Check out the video here.

It's a moment they've been dreaming about for years: watching their daughter Aly compete at the Olympics.

But now, Lynn and Rick Raisman are getting some attention themselves -- all because of the way they watched their daughter compete.

The Raismans' reactions were beamed around the world and after Aly qualified, they were the ones everyone wanted to talk to.

“I didn't realize I was moving around that much. I could see you moving but I didn't realize I was doing it,” Lynn Raisman said.

Aly even found time to watch her parents' reactions.

She tweeted, "I was hysterically laughing!!! So funny! I think they were more nervous than I was!"

The Raismans say as emotional as watching the events can be, they wouldn't have it any other way.

And they're hoping for many more here in London...

“I mean it's awesome but it's really nerve wracking," Lynn Raisman said.
