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.
