That is touching. I travel an hour to get to training everyday and hope that one day I will be an Olympic Gymnast!

Gabby made me love gymnastics it so fun

my daughter wishes she could be like her so much she just says i want to be like Gabrielle Douglas all day long

I am soo proud of Gabby! She's so fun to watch and she's energetic and spunky. Epic respect to her and her family

Such an inspiring story .. CONGRATS MOM, Gabby, and their entire Olympic family on winning Gold!!!!

I cried throughout this video... good for her and her family she is truly an inspiration to so many!!! WAY TO GO GABBY... YOU DID IT :)

I am just in awe. I have Gabby's picture at my desk so everyone who stops by can admire her smile and extraordinary talent. I wish continued blessings and success to little Miss Gabby and her family!

I am so proud of this family. They all worked and sacrificed together to help Gabby live her dream. Mom, celebrate like you completed those routines with her. Your love and unwavering devotion is what made it all possible -3. I hope that more mothers are inspired by you and push their children to live their dreams too. Team Gabby!

Wow....I got tears in my eyes watching and listening to this. I have 5 children. One of my children has has excelled beyond average at basketball and it's mind boggling. Looking back at the struggles that my husband and I have had to nurture and develop this talent/skill, I realize that it wasn't easy. At times it seemed that we just couldn't put any more money out but we gave our last dime and I must say it was/is so worth it. I hope every parent watches this and takes heed.

Way to go! Way to make her dreams a reality. Dedication, hard work, tenacity, faith, your resilience and her sister's faith and encourage! I believe, Go Gabby!!!!!

Congratulations to Gabby and all of your hard work and the devotion from your family. You deserve your rewards. God Bless You Child.

What an incredible mom, incredible family and incredible young woman, Gabby Douglas!! She may have won a gold medal today, but she and her family were already winners!! Go, Gabby!!

Gabby you did the U.S. Proud. I loved hearing this story of how she got to where she is!

Touching story. Congratulations Gabby and to her courageous mom. Mom I know it wasn't easy. You're special.

I think she's a good gymnast and I think she does great being in grateful every event I think she does great🍬🍭

God bless her. People don't understand the support it takes to raise an Olympic athlete. Many blessings to Gabby's mom--and Gabby, too :).

This was very touching!!! Your family is wonderful and God bless you for believing in your daughter and allowing her to follow her dreams :)

gabby is my favorite and best gymnast her life is hard cuz in another episode she said her dad was fighting in the milatary and she lives in Iowa from the rest of her family!!! she is my role model!!!! And i told all my friends about her and today i heard she got a gold medal for the all around olympics! SHE ROCKS!

Absolutely stunning!!! Congrats to all your hard work and success. God bless her and family!

im so happy for her and glad to know that in the end it all paid off. she is an inspiration for me

Congratulations Douglas Family! You are all extraordinary and you deserve this so much.

she's a great mom who didn't try to live through her daughter or try to force her to be something she was not...but encouraged her to live out her dreams. allt he best to her! Go GABBY!

i had tears in my eyes, she's so inspirational.

My sir name is Douglas too and I am a Jamaican and that's one of the reasons I root for her and get goose bumps when I hear her mother speaks on how she struggle to put her in Gymnastics

such an emotional and inspirational video.

I love Gabby Douglas one day I'm going to be an awesome thing just like her I'm only in the third level and gymnastics

I love her...She's so focused and mature for her age...She believed in herself..and that's what catapulted her to Greatness...Go Gabby :)

I am glad you shared that.., your a great mother...

I think that Gabby is awesome!!! She's sooooo good at gymnastics!!!!!! : }

super no me canso de verla

Awesome Parents!!

I love gymnastics

Congrats!

i'm going to grow up and be just like gabby and one day go to the olympics and no one would stop me from doing the thing i love GYMNASTICS. i thought it was very rude of the people to talk abut her pony tail like really and plus not all people have long hair so don't judge them about it and it doesint matter if ur black,white,mixed,spanish or anything u should be able to do what you want and follow your dreams my dream is to be a gymnast just like gabby douglas so thanks gabby your the best

It would be tough to let my girl go 2000 miles away for training. On the other hand, most of us wish we could have had the opportunity to fulfill our life's dream. Gabrielle Douglas has managed that and so the story has a happy middle not an ending yet. This about a young women becoming an Olympic Champion, her families support and nothing else.

i just cried

Congrats, Gabby! You made it! :)

Tears and bug Cheers for Gabby!

I bet there are many 14 girls who can't sleep tonight. I remember when I was 14 and saw Olga Korbet perform her dare-devil routine on TV. I was mesmerized and couldn't sleep as I replayed her routine in my head.

Keep it up Gabby.

Amazing

The new Queen of Gymnastics.

I love Grady because she is my rollmotall because she said it is hard to give up andquit and now I know never give up and trie rillyhaerd😄😃😃

Miss. Amazing, even though your younger than me, I look UP to YOU!!!! BIG UPS to YOUUuuuuuuuu :-)

AMAZING

Hallelujah praise the Lord Congratulations Gabby Douglas God bless you and your family.

I happy for her dream to come true

That how champions are made, over coming seemingly insurmountable odds. Blessed and highly favored by God. You go grrl.

kudos to her, chicks got big balls to perform so well

I am inspired!

Great job mom

i love Gaby and my inspiration every day i look at my wall i see her pose very big in my room i spend all day happy him and my ration of living without her would be nothing good gaby

youre amazing i wish i could do that

Your grate gabby

Thank you Natalie Hawkins, the United State apperciates your sacrfice.

GO GABBY GO

BIG Cheers...:-)

well said

I think the family who took her in should also be thanked, they too were instrumental in bringing about her victory. They too are also her family. According to her mom in another interview this proves that family doesn't necessarily have to do with colour or blood relation but those who truly love you. By the way I'm black.

You should watch this documentary of her on Netflix it's about her childhood.

i'm going to grow up and be just like gabby

so do i 😔

U people are so crazy with those silly comments. Congradulation Gabby my 11yr old loves you.

go gabby

i am an amazing gymnast 2 im in state finals im 12 and im great ;)

A true American dream!

way to be positive, you have issues of your own

My daughter wants to be just like Gabby Douglasshe tries to do what she does in our room and always makes a mess.

I love this American need for a sob story, but in case there is none, you'll make sure to make up one. You won't get it when it comes to gymnastics,it's a sport that takes A LOT of money and time and the fact that Gabby made it to the Olympic level shows just how privileged and lucky she was. If you want from rags to gold medal story, you'll get it from Russia or Romania, where gymnastics are still state funded, so it's possible for poor kids from the middle of nowhere to reach the stars.

I,m in gyimnastics like u i love your insperashan

Congratualtins

Her mom used a lot of people along the the way to get Gabby to the point. That family was basically poor. Would be nice now that she has won to at least thanks all those who helped out. That mom has not done that.

Olympic athletes aren't raised, they raise themselves.

سبحان الله عقدها على نفسه . طيب وش استفدت لما تحاول تعقد الكلاس . كل بهمه عشت يالمحامي

I think gaby is the best and she's my sister

No wonder Gabby looks the way she is...her mom is pretty.

now how do you know she didnt? tell me just how do you know?

She is not racist. If she were, would you think she would send her child to IOWA of all places? Secondly, black people can be proud of their heritage and that doesn't mean they hate white people. Jews, Mexicans, Italians and others are proud of where they come from but you are not offended. She wasn't thinking about color, she was thinking about the OLYMPICS!

Lol and then there's me who will dislocate an ankle just by jumping rope

i wanna be succesful 2:]

Hey lets just shut up and watch this video and be inspired by this young woman, guys lol

I thought gabby started late,like at 8

After all this people who just look at her hair can get benefited through legally blind quota.
