Gabby Douglas becomes 1st African American Olympics all-around gold medalist
GO GABBY!!!!
This is big news.... Congratulations to Gabby Douglas for making history by becoming the first African American Olympics all-around gold medalist.
Douglas won the women's all-around title Thursday night, becoming the third straight American to win gymnastics' biggest prize. It's her second gold medal of the London Games, coming two nights after she and her ''Fierce Five'' teammates gave the United States its first Olympic title since 1996.
Douglas rocked the O2 Arena with her electric floor routine, flashing a dazzling smile and lots of pizzazz. She finished with a score of 62.232, about three-tenths ahead of Viktoria Komova of Russia, runner-up at last year's world championships.
