Gabby Douglas is an American gymnast who became the first African-American in history to win the individual all-around event at the 2012 Games in London. She also won team first-place medals in 2012 and 2016.
Gabby began gymnastics training at six years old and won a state championship by the time she was eight. In 2010, at age 14, she left her family and moved in with a host family in Iowa where she trained. Gabby’s skill on the uneven bars—specifically, her ability to gain extraordinary height in the air when releasing from the apparatus—led her to earn the nickname, “the Flying Squirrel,” a name Gabby and her fans embraced.
