GABBY DOUGLAS




U.S. Olympic Athlete Gabrielle "Gabby" Douglas

This week, Gabby Douglas made history by being the first African-American woman to win the gold medal in the ladies’ gymnastics all-around and the first American gymnast to win gold in both the individual and team events.
In the moments after receiving her individual gold medal, Gabby told a reporter,
“It is everything I thought it would be; being the Olympic champion – it definitely is an amazing feeling.   And I give all the glory to God.   It's kind of a win-win situation.    The glory goes up to him and the blessings fall down on me.”    

The 16-year-old celebrated the moment with a tribute to God, sent out using her Twitter account.   "Let all that I am praise the LORD; may I never forget the good things He does for me," she tweeted.
