Very nice it is too.
Though I'd really love to see that moment of intense crying, that lip tremble of hers in this video was deeply alluring.

Here's a YouTube video of a post-race interview with Simone Manuel:
I happened to catch this this on TV last week and found it very touching. Her lip-curl here isn't as extreme as the one in the photo, but it's still very expressive. There are some tears as well, although they kind of blend in with the pool water.

That video is very nice too, the lip curl also comes out at the interview for a split second when she isn't talking.

Re: Summer Olympics 2016
There's video on this page of Renaud Lavillenie crying on the stand during the medal ceremony. Evidently this story is quite well known - the Brazilians have been booing him all throughout the competition, and he finally had had enough. This page tells the whole story, I have to say my sympathies are with him.

The videos aren't available, but I managed to cheat by copy/pasting to keepvid and watching it from there.
Thanks for the Raisman video, I've seen photos of her crying so the video adds to the experience. DiRado is very pretty. It's too bad she covered her mouth, though I don't think she lip curls anyway.
