Gabby Douglas "I Can’t Go Anywhere Without Anyone Recognizing Me"

U.S gymnast Gabby Douglas gave an interview to the WashingtonPost.com where she talked about her post Olympic life, her fans and her plans after the Kellogg's Tour.


Douglas who is the first African American gymnast to win an Olympic individual gold medal said that now being a famous person she can't go anywhere without anyone recognizing her and saying "That's Gabby Douglas". 

On Halloween, gymnastics fans dressed up like the fierce five which Gabby finds the best costumes ever "  Everyone was tweeting me all these pictures. It was just very cool."


The two time Olympic champion is planning to get back in training after she finishes the tour this week. Douglas is hoping to make the 2016 Olympic team and repeat what she had achieved in London "I’m going to have a little bit of more confidence knowing: if I make the team, I’ve been to the Olympics. I know what it’s like. I can do this. One thing I’m going to do is not walk in there and say, “I got this already because I did it four years ago.’ That’s not the mindset I want to carry on because anything can happen. I’m just going to go in there and have the best time of my life, and show everyone what I can do."
