Gabby Douglas is really big in her hometown. Really big and painted on a wall.
The gold-medal-winning gymnast has a giant mural painted in her honor in Virginia Beach. And she loves it.
"WOW!!! This is amazing!! (hashtag)so honored," Douglas tweeted Friday from the Olympics in London, where the 16-year-old won two gold medals at the Summer Games.
I think that's great. She did a very good job representing the US at the Olympics.
ReplyDeleteShe really did. The dedication of the various US teams has transcended the criticism and even the losses; I think they deserve every kudo for representing us so well. Win or lose, they are the best.
ReplyDeleteFunny, I was just thinking when I was in a Wal-Mart in Chesapeake, Virginia today that when she gets the opportunity to return home here to the area, she won't even be able to GO to a store without being mobbed with fans. Now that is a good problem to have.
