Gold medals are made out of sweat, blood and tears and effort in the gym every day.
I give all the glory to God. It's kind of a win-win situation. The glory goes up to Him and the blessings fall down on me.
You just have to be yourself and go full with confidence and be courageous.
My mom says I'm a fighter, a fierce competitor, and I think I am, too.
You need your mom and dad to protect you. It means they love you so much.
The hard work definitely paid off and hard work always does.
You know, God has a plan for me, and I'm going to follow in his footsteps and just rejoice and be happy.
Gold medals are made out of your sweat, blood and tears, and effort in the gym every day, and sacrificing a lot.
I kind of do think of myself as a superhero and just flying high, and doing these crazy flips.
By now, you've probably caught on to something: my mother is always standing by with just the right Scripture or inspirational saying to get me through any tough situation.
Always be courageous and strong, and don't fear.
I wanted to tell my story and where I came from and my background, because it was not easy.
My mom used to tell me when I was little, 'When it rains, it's God's manifestation - a big day's waiting to happen.'
It's very tough for me to focus. I'm like: 'Look, something shiny! No, focus. Oh, there goes a butterfly!'
I accomplished something big and that's a memory I will never forget.
Gospel music always relaxes me and calms my nerves.
I googled 'Gabby Douglas,' and all these things popped up like 'Gabby Douglas makes history!' And 'She's the champion!'
It's just incredible how people come up to me and say, 'Gabby, you inspire me to do anything I can set my mind to.' It's truly an honor.
The one snack I really love is YoCrunch yogurt. It's like an apple pie in a cup! You have your apples on the bottom, your yogurt in the middle, and piecrust crumbs on top.
I wear makeup pretty much every day. For training, I usually do a lighter base, a lighter blush and I used the mascara and a little bit of the lip gloss.
