Gabby Douglas
Gabrielle Christina Victoria Douglas, who was born on December 31, 1995, became the first African American to win the all-around title at the 2012 London Olympic Games. She was also the country’s first gold medalist in both the team and individual all-around competitions. Are you curious as to how she achieved it? She’s been doing gymnastics since she was six years old!
Having a discipline coach, such as Liang Chow, was beneficial to her incredible trajectory toward success. Her abilities are on the uneven bars are like no other. That’s why fans refer to her as The Flying Squirrel. Since Dominique Dawes, she was the first woman of color to make the US women’s gymnastics squad.
