Gabby Douglas: Olympic Gold Medal in the Gymnastics All-Around Competition
By Jason McIntyre
According to Christine Brennan of USA Today, Douglas became the first African-American All-Around champ in Olympic history. The scores from Douglas:
Floor: 15.033
Vault: 15.96
Bars: 15.733
Beam: 15.5
Komova went last on the floor, and was virtually flawless, but her routine was not nearly as complex, and Douglas edged her out for gold. Douglas is the first American woman to win gold in both the team & individual all-around.
