I want to send a very special congratulations to Gabby Douglas. At only 16, Gabby has become the first African American woman to take home the all around Olympic gold title in woman's gymnastics. Gabby weighing in at only 94 pounds pretty dominated the series from the beginning. Talk about determination, not bad for a 16 year old who left her home at 14 in Virginia Beach to move to West Des Moines, Iowa so that she can train under her coach Liang Chow. Not only did Gabby become the first African American to take home that title but she also became the 4th American woman in Olympic history to win woman's all year round. Congrats Gabby! You did it!!
