Gabrielle Christina Victoria Douglas[3] (born December 31, 1995[4]) is an American artistic gymnast. She is the 2012 Olympic all-around champion and the 2015 World all-around silver medalist. She was a member of the gold-winning teams at both the 2012 and 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.[5]
Douglas is the first African American to become the Olympic individual all-around champion,[6][7] and the first U.S. gymnast to win gold in both the individual all-around and team competitions at the same Olympics. She was also the 2016 AT&T American Cup all-around champion.
As a public figure, Douglas' gymnastics successes have led to her life story adaptation in the 2014 Lifetime biopic film, The Gabby Douglas Story,[8] as well as the acquisition of her own reality television series, Douglas Family Gold.[9] Douglas has also written a book about her life and what it takes to be an Olympic gold medalist by determination and perseverance.[10]
As of July 2023, Douglas is training with the goal of making the 2024 Olympic team.
