Gabby Douglas began training as a gymnast at the age of six. After achieving prominent success on the junior circuit, she moved to Iowa to pursue her dream of becoming a professional gymnast at the age of 14.

Douglas made her international debut in 2008. Even though she did not have a podium finish in her debut season, it played a very important role in shaping her as a gymnast. Moreover, in the 2009 season, she suffered a wrist injury which cut her season short.

The Virginia native made a comeback in 2010 at the Nastia Liukin Supergirl Cup held in Massachusetts, where she was placed fourth in the all-around event. She had her first prominent podium finish at the U.S. Junior National Championships, where she clinched the silver medal in beam balance.

Furthermore, Douglas continued with her winning momentum at the 2010 Pan American Championships held in Mexico. There, she clinched the gold medal in the uneven bars as well as the team event.
