Lesson 2: K-W-L-S Projection Master #4
Gabrielle “Gabby” Christina Victoria Douglas was born on
December 31, 1995 in Virginia Beach, Virginia. In 2012, she
became the first African American to win the Olympic gold medal
in the individual all-around event and the first American gymnast
to win both team and individual gold at the same Olympics.
Gabby, the youngest of four, has two older sisters – Arielle and
Joyelle – and an older brother Jonathan. She was home schooled
by her host family for her high school years so that she could
devote more time to gymnastics. At age 3, Douglas had perfected
a straight cartwheel taught to her by her older brother and sister.
At age 6, the 4’11”, 90-pound gymnast began formal gymnastics
training, and by age 8 she had won a state championship. Gabby’s
unique power and ability to perform high leaps and twists earned
her the nickname, “The Flying Squirrel.” Her favorite events are
the floor and beam.
Even though Gabby’s mother, Natalie Hawkins, and father
Timothy Douglas, a U.S. Air Force staff sergeant, separated when
she was 12, her mother was determined to support her daughter’s dreams of becoming an
Olympian. After Gabby met Liang Chow, the 2008 Olympic coach of Shawn Johnson, she wanted
to be coached by him. Her mother made the tough decision to allow Gabrielle to travel 200 miles
to West Des Moines, Iowa, to live with a family she had never met so that Gabby could train at
Chow’s gym. Though Douglas communicated with her mother daily via Skype™, she became
homesick and wanted to quit and return home.

In 2010, Douglas won her share of medals and began to make a name for herself nationally. She
debuted in the national meet, SuperGirl Cup, and placed fourth all-around; placed third in the
balance beam in the CoverGirl classic meet; won a silver medal on the balance beam and placed
fourth all-around in the 2010 Junior National Championships; and won the uneven bars title in
the 2010 Pan American Championships.
In 2011, Douglas was a member of the US gymnastics team that won the gold medal in the team
finals at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Tokyo, Japan. After winning the 2012
Olympic Trials, she would go on to be selected as a United States representative at the 2012
Summer Olympics. She was named Most Valuable Player (MVP) of Team USA at the 2012 London
games. She competed for the US in all four events. In team finals she amassed the enormous total
of 61,465 points. Her father and mother were both present cheering her on to victory.
Gabby has proven not only to be a world class champion but also prides herself on being a role
model with hopes of inspiring young girls everywhere. She has received national recognition and
numerous accolades from multiple prestigious groups and organizations. The Associated Press
named her the female athlete of the year; she appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated with her
2012 Olympian team; and was featured on Time magazine's July 2012 cover. Douglas also has her
own line of gymnastics leotards and has published her book entitled, Grace, Gold and Glory: My
Leap of Faith.
Gabby’s sacrifices, determination and endurance resulted in the victorious accomplishment of
her dream to become an Olympian. Her mantra: “Hard work, determination, faith and sacrifice”
has served her well. Douglas has her sights on defending her title in the 2016 Olympics in Rio de
Janeiro and earning a business degree.

was named PARADE magazine’s “High School Boys Basketball Player of the Year” and Gatorade
