I think there is something wrong with her. Douglas trained for years at an elite gym in Virginia. Then after she became famous she denounced the gym as being full of racists.

So either the gym really was filled with racists (who were able to keep it all a secret for years and years), or Douglas horribly smeared a gym that help make her what she is.

I’ve never forgotten that. I think the first time she made these comments was on the Oprah Wimprey show. The girls who thought she was their friend were shocked.

Hopefully, the new gymnasts will love their country.

I was surprised and annoyed that Gabby couldn't be bothered to put her hand over her heart while our National Anthem was being played yesterday.

Just judging Gabby's body language (when not performing) and facial expressions during the competitions so far, she is a far different Gabby Douglas than four years ago. She seems to have a giant chip on her shoulder. She comes across as bitter and envious.
