Real American Treasure: U.S. Olympian Gabby Douglas

The American Treasure Tour salutes team USA in the 2012 Olympic games! Our country's athletes never fail to impress during Olympic season, summer or winter. So far this summer, a shining star stands out on the women's gymnastics team. Sixteen year old Gabby Douglas has already earned two gold medals, and competes tonight, (Monday 08-06-12) for her chance to win a third gold medal on the uneven bars.

This young woman has worked so hard, and had to live apart from her family for the last few months of training. She was charming and articulate during her recent interview on the Today Show. All the more reason for America to just fall in love with her! Way to go Gabby!
