Gabby Douglas' Olympic Journey

Gabby Douglas made her Olympic debut at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London where she secured her place on the U.S. women's gymnastics team by placing first in the all-around at the Olympic Trials in San Jose, California.

At the 2012 London Olympics, held at the O2 Arena, Douglas and her teammates, Jordyn Wieber, McKayla Maroney, captain Aly Raisman, and Kyla Ross, collectively known as the "Fierce Five," made history by winning the team event gold medal. This was the first U.S. team gold since the "Magnificent Seven" in the 1996 Atlanta Games. During the team finals, Douglas was the only team member to compete on all four apparatus.

She further distinguished herself by winning the gold medal in the individual all-around becoming the first African-American woman to do so. She also became the first American gymnast to win the team and individual all-around gold at the same Olympics. Despite these achievements, Douglas finished eighth in the uneven bars and seventh in the balance beam making her the first all-around champion not to medal in an individual event since women's gymnastics was introduced to the Olympics in 1952.

Douglas competed in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics. On August 7, she competed in the Women's Qualification at the HSBC Arena. She narrowly missed advancing to the all-around final due to the two-per-country rule, despite having the third-highest score in the preliminaries. Nevertheless, she qualified for the uneven bars final and contributed significantly to the U.S. team's second consecutive gold medal in the team event. The team calling themselves the "Final Five" in honor of coach Marta Karolyi's retirement cemented their legacy. Douglas finished seventh in the uneven bars final.
