Gabby Douglas Flying, Flipping & Being Awesome: An Olympic History

Gabby Douglas, the 16-year-old gymnast from Virginia Beach, has become America’s favorite athlete during these Olympic games. She is always smiling, remarkably well-spoken and incredibly awesome.

Then, tune in tonight to see her do her thing in the women’s gymnastics all-around competition.

We know what happens, but no spoilers.
