Gaby is actually the daughter of gymnast, Gabrielle Douglas. She was born in Augusta Georgia but was raised in Florida. As you can surmise with an Olympic star, her life seems to be full of fun and high spirited adventures. This certainly explains why she was so eager to sign on with the U.S. National Team for the 2021 summer Olympics in London. She has already proven that she is an excellent gymnast and winning gold medals is definitely a plus.

So what makes Gabby a gymnastics all-around champion? She has an uncanny ability to Balance beam. The problem many people have with her balance beam is that she does not always follow through with the physical motion when performing it. This causes her to fall off balance and puts a lot of pressure on her lower back. Despite this, she is still able to perform other amazing feats like performing a triple jump onto the uneven bars, vault, and beam.

However, it was during the world championships that Gabby’s skills really came out. She placed fourth overall in the qualification rounds. The thrill of having placed fourth in the world was enough to boost her confidence. This boosted her motivation even further because she knew that if she won the gold, then she would become the first gymnast ever to win four different world championships. She also became the first American woman to win the gold at the same time as gymnast, Marta Karolyi. So to have such a prestigious honor placed on your resume makes gymnastics truly an amazing sport to be a part of.

For gymnast Douglas, the thrill of the moments leading up to the gold medal may have been too much. After being eliminated from the gold medal competition early, Douglas was devastated. However, she then decided that since she had been eliminated from the all-around gymnastics competition, it was now time to take on the all-around title. Although Douglas lost the game to eventual winner, Sarah Jane Coleman, she was able to accomplish the feat of becoming the first virginian to win the gold.

It is clear that gymnastics takes a lot of dedication and practice in order to excel in the sport. It is obvious that Gabby Douglas has put in a lot of work in order to become the gymnast that she is today. However, no gymnast ever really expected to win the gold medal in the world. While there are definitely some other factors involved in the achievement of a gold medal, gymnastics certainly has its share of them.
