Gabrielle Christina Victoria Douglas (born December 31, 1995) is a retired American artistic gymnast. She is the 2012 Olympic AA champion& the 2015 World AA silver medalist. She was a member of the gold-winning teams at both the 2012 & the 2016 Summer Olympics, dubbed the “Fierce Five” and the “Final Five” by the media, respectively. She was also a member of the gold-winning American teams at the 2011 and the 2015 World Championships. Douglas is the first African American to become the Olympic individual AA champion, & the first U.S. gymnast to win gold in both the individual all-around & team competitions at the same Olympics. She was also the 2016 AT&T American Cup all-around champion.
Douglas was born in Newport News, Virginia and grew up in nearby Virginia Beach. She began training in gymnastics at age six when her sister convinced their mother to enroll her in classes. In October 2002, she began her training at Gymstrada. At the age of eight, Douglas won the Level 4 all-around gymnastics title at the 2004 Virginia State Championships. At 14, she moved to Des Moines, Iowa, to train full-time with coach Liang Chow. Because her family had to stay in Virginia while her siblings finished school, she lived with Travis and Missy Parton and their four daughters, one of whom also trained at Chow’s gym. However, Douglas struggled to fit in because of the separation from her family and hometown. In December 2012, Douglas released her autobiography, Grace, Gold, & Glory: My Leap of Faith. The book debuted at number four on The New York Times Young Adult Bestseller List. That same month, she performed a miniature floor routine at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards as part of the live performance by Alicia Keys and Nicki Minaj of the Girl on Fire Inferno Remix – following Douglas’ success in London, Minaj had opted to end her verse with a reference to her: “I ain’t tryna be that / Haters wanna see that / But I got ’em aggy / ‘Cause I win the gold like Gabby.”
Douglas had a small acting role on the Disney XD series Kickin It in the episode “Gabby’s Gold”, which aired on August 12, 2013. The Gabby Douglas Story aired on Lifetime on February 1, 2014, starring Imani Hakim. Douglas performed all the gymnastic stunts herself. In 2015, it was announced that a reality television show for the Oxygen channel had been commissioned to follow Douglas and her family’s life, issued under the working title Douglas Family Gold. The show premiered on May 25, 2016. On August 23, 2016, it was announced that Douglas would be one of the judges at the 2017 Miss America pageant.
