Gabby Douglas has been one of the most-watched athletes of the summer games  after she captured gold in the Women’s Individual All-Around Final. Douglas would become the first African-American and the first American to win both the individual and team gold medals at the Olympics. According to Gabby, she’s not done wowing the world with her athletic prowess and million-dollar smile. The Virginia Beach native intends to take her talents, along with the U.S. team, to Rio for the 2016 Summer Olympics.

“I haven’t considered retiring, because I’d be too young,” Douglas, 16, said. “So I’m definitely thinking about Rio.”

Congratulations to the Gabby and the rest of the U.S. Women’s Gymnastics team!
