I'm a very good bowler, which I discovered a few months ago.

For me going down in history being the first black American to win the gold, I think more colored people are going to start coming to the gymnastics world and say 'okay, anything is possible. If Gabby did it, then I can do it too.'

I just want to inspire all those people who gave up and said 'I quit,' Never give up!

Never give up and always keep fighting, because though times may be tough, the sacrifices do pay off, so just keep pushing towards your dream and just love it at the same time and enjoy it.

Always be courageous and strong, & don't fear. You've got to be confident when you're competing. You've got to be a beast.

I googled 'Gabby Douglas,' and all these things popped up like 'Gabby Douglas makes history!' And 'She's the champion!'

I have no regrets coming back for a second Olympic team [in 2016]. It's been an amazing experience. It's been teaching me a lot.
