“Our event went well! It was a pleasure having Gabby here!”
As Olympic gymnast Gabby Douglas, 20, prepares for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio, she is really putting her body through the wringer. See what it takes to fuel a gold-winning athlete who spends upwards of 30 hours a week preparing to wow the world.
Gold-medal gymnast Gabby Douglas had had a rough few days. She finished seventh out of eight competitors on the uneven bars last week, and online bullies attacked over almost everything she did.
By 16, Gabby accomplished at her first Olympic Games what no American gymnast had ever done before: She won both the coveted individual all-around title and led her team (dubbed the Fierce Five) to a gold medal — and also happens to be the first woman of color in the sport to do so.
If you watched even a moment of the 2016 Rio Olympics, you know that Gabby Douglas and the rest of Team USA gymnastics absolutely slayed. They also happened to inspire us with their awesome makeup ideas.
One major downside to the Summer Olympics is that once they’re over, we have to wait another four years for those glittery superhumans to dominate our screens again.
