A note from
Gabby Douglas
URBAN PULSE
DIRECT
Seconds into her interview this amazingly petite,
beautiful and fit young lady explained how she nearly
quit gymnastics before ever winning an Olympic medal.
It was 2011 when Gabby dropped a bomb on her
coaches and family: She wanted to quit gymnastics –
and maybe try getting a job at Chick-fil-A. “What,” she
says now, “was I thinking?” Of course, she didn’t. And
the rest is history.
