London Olympic All Around Champion Gabrielle (Gabby) Douglas came back for the 2016 Olympics which is no small feat.

A veteran at the age of 20 Gabby Douglas earned a Gold Medal in the Team Finals and also advanced to the Finals in Uneven Bars.

Gabby Douglas was the All Around Silver Medalist at the 2015 World Championships behind Simone Biles.

Standing Tall in the Face of Critics

Gabby Douglas has endured endless criticism from online trolls and yet she continues to stand tall in the face of her critics and compete on the biggest stages in her sport and rise to the occasion when needed such as in the Team Final on Uneven bars.

Douglas was also criticized for not putting her hand over heart during the National Anthem at the Team Finals.  Let the record show that two American shot putters did not put their hands over their heart.

While the criticism has hurt Gabby she continues on!

Taking Care of Business

In addition to being a Gillette spokeswoman, Gabby is the new face of Nike’s Tech Fleece Collection.  She will also be a judge at the 2017 Miss America Pageant.  Kudos to this talented and beautiful athlete!  She is truly a champion in every Way.
