Gabrielle Douglas Interviewed by Dominique Dawes

[@jrlockwood3]

I was absolutely IN LOVE with Dominique Dawes when I was younger. Its nice to see she is still as beautiful as ever.

[@jrlockwood3]

Listen Maurice, or Tim Stevens whatever your name is, you fake ass punk. All your HATE SPEECH will get you blocked from my posts. You have clearly developed a massive crush on me. You can message me anytime and maybe we could meet up. I'll wear a yamaka and we can discuss our differences if you would like. My guess is you won't cuz just like every other pussy that makes threats and harassing comments, as you have on a lot of my posts, you won't have the balls to confront me in person. You hide behind a keyboard and screen where you're safe. Step outside of your comfort zone and show me how to be a man. Or just keep on typing and I'll keep on smiling cuz clearly I've got under your skin. Every post you wrote shows what kind of person you are. Fake name with a lot of attitude. I just hope you get angry enough to come at me in person. I'd love to teach you a lesson or two. Have a nice day cutie pants. Stay awesome lover.

[@konradhenlein6634]

jrlockwood3- Of course you got under my skin, that's complete apparent. I'm wound up these days, and what I crave is debate, not careless arrogance. You decided to play your little games with me first by commenting on a post on that Kokesh board that had nothing to do with you. You sound like some young buck pickup artist who breezily snubs "angry" people, and I'm here to tell you that life involves more than leisure and girls, it's nasty out there, and America is fucked. I'm trying to get the message out there (and no it isn't always about Jews), and you're screwing with me. You may have your little cute pickup lines and your everything's cool vibe, but when the shit hits the fan, will you protest for freedom? Do you believe in anything outside of fluffy pursuits? Something to think about.

[@jrlockwood3]

You don't want to debate you want to spread your backwards, racist ideals and I think pathetic people like you are a joke. And all my comment was, was a playful blurb about you being a gangster of love. You're using the name Steve Miller. In the end you don't matter to anyone but yourself. And no I won't protest for freedom I'll fight for it. Trust me I'm much deeper than you and my thoughts and ideas about how to make this world a better place are too far past your limited mental capabilities for you to understand in the first place. Keep up your anti-semitic rants I'm sure they'll get you where you wanna be. But if you would like we could meet up for some fluffy pursuits, if you catch my drift. ;)

[@JordanjamesX]

This is just wonderful, Dominique inspired so many black girls to take up gymnastics and now the torch has been passed to Gabrielle Douglas! Well done to both ladies for breaking down the colour barrier in gymnastics!

[@ctruth6185]

Gabby is a great gymnast, she will always be the first, nobody can ever take that away from her. We don't hear enough about grown up Gabby these day. I hope she's doing well. May GOD bless her, I enjoyed her time on the highest stage of gymnastics.

[@IssytheGymnast]

Dominique Dawes came and taught us gymnastics. I was like WOW.

[@GrandpaPlayedBox]

This is my favorite Gabby Douglas interview. Thank you De Vry and go for the Gold Gabby!

[@Anodi33]

Her reaction when meeting Dawes was priceless.....I wonder if she realizes that a lot of little girls would have the same reaction if they go to meet her!!

[@msgryphon1987]

I love her spirit! Gabby's mom also made a beautiful gift to her daughter to follow her dream. Not an easy thing for a parent to do!

[@ilovesomaligirls]

I am now saying ,"WOW!!!" I am so happy & proud of you! You are a compaign so keep the excellent sports! Bless be upon you, Gabrielle.

[@LeahWalentosky]

Gabby is truely a beautiful person, I love how humble she is with all this. Perfect representation of the United States.

[@sadelover100]

Dominique is such a caring,sensitive soul...she wanted to cry in this interview because she could see in Gabby that special talent and beautiful spirit..god bless the child that holds her own...Dominique desperately wanted this for her, her tears were very real

[@jclaxton78]

Gabby checks all the boxes: beauty, brains, personality, class, strength, pure talent/skill, mental toughness, willingness to sacrifice, confidence, determination, performing her best when the pressure is most intense, and wants to win for many reasons. What an inspiration this kid is.

[@tonysmith9072]

I Love this interview so much!!!

[@vanderbilcovington6850]

Who could deny the sheer beauty reflected in the eyes of this mere child upon meeting her much admired role model. The genuine smile, wide eyes and cooing voice of Gabrielle is priceless. Dominique handled the interview with grace, knowing the impression of encouragement she conveyed would never be be forgotten by Gabby. What a wonderful gift if women of all colour could offer such inspiration to girls of the coming generations. From these come the true champions and hope for humanity

[@TheDanster4]

Gabby's so pretty and such a sweetheart! :)

[@Rockpear7]

Amazing athlete. So proud of you Gabby! You deserve the gold

[@Ceejayke]

Gabby just caught my attention when I learnt about her just few days ago and since then no passes without following up news about her and her accompanying successes. I watch most often with tears of joy for such a sweetheart. Gabby, the sky is not your limit but just your starting point.

[@Luminesce07]

I love you Gabby!!! I'm so happy you made history ^~^

[@Valerius2316]

"Kept flipping off the furniture" That killed me lol

[@LadyClemy]

Yes Gabby, you are truly inspiring and never, never let anyone deter you from your vision.

[@juliahcornell]

I got her book, Grace, Glory & Glory, yesterday and I've already finished it. It's so touching.

[@Redzone8472]

I'm 52 years old, and this great young lady, touched and inspired me. Gabby may god bless you and your family always.

[@krismickey1]

Congratulations to Gabby! She is such an inspiration to others! I could watch her perform over and over again. Such perfection!

[@ariwhite7589]

You are an inspiration to all Gabby. Its not easy doing what you do and accomplishing the goals you've accomplished stay focused and be blessed.

[@annaatkins6377]

I am proud of Gabby and her team. They were all Beautiful.

[@originalbadgirl]

What a wonderful young lady. I am so proud of you Gabby. Everyone I know is routing for you! You are already a Gold Medalist in our hearts.

[@aobkar]

Congratulations Gabrielle Douglas..! You made us all happy and proud..! Keep it up my angel.

[@cheerthug]

Omg I love her even more now!!!! Get it Gabby

[@IrisMG]

Beautiful young lady - she did what she set out to do. Mission Accomplished! I hope she inspires young people that you don't get anywhere except through hard work & sacrifice. The road to the top can be lonely, family & friends may not understand but in the end it has to be worth the struggle to make it to the top.

[@shirleyann6700]

Best wishes Gabby. My family and a host of friends are pulling for you and the USA team! You are such a great inspiration.

[@SisSuzy]

This little girl is Awesome and so is her Mom!!!! She has such a strong personality and much determination. Love u Gabby, and congrats for winning the Gold Medal !!!! YaY!

[@EbonnyFowler]

Great interview! Very inspiring!!

[@algae787]

Two of the best U.S. gymnasts ever. I got chills!

[@LFortune]

Go Gabby! You are a brilliant star for all to see!

[@Fnubee]

I think it is great that Gabby realizes that she is an inspiration to other young black kids that want to be gymnasts. IT IS HARD TO BE WHAT YOU CAN'T SEE!! The emphasis on her being a "black" gymnast is similar to Jeremy Lin being an Asian basketball player. Lin spoke about being overlooked by colleges b/c he was Asian. There are a lot of barriers when ANY PERSON is in a field where they are the minority (i.e. gender, physical disability, or other). Recognizing this will make us better!!!!

[@keleno52]

The PINNACLE of quote...."YOU GO GIRL".......quite simply THE BEST!!!!

[@faithanddevotion]

She is amazing, what all these young women can do is just awesome. The dedication and discipline is incredible.

[@Crisco1964]

She seems like such and intelligent sweet young lady! Not to mention the talent this little girl has! She just stands out as my favorite!!!

[@msemzy1987]

Life can be fun and hard as well, there are ppl that like and accept you, others that loath you and love to bring you down. I'm not surprised that Gabrielle Douglas has received praises and backlashes. THAT IS LIFE. I'm proud of her and she has greatly inspired me. I don't see a black girl (i am black too so that is irrelevant!)....I see a determined young girl who pursued her dream and never gave up...she persevered and now she has been rewarded for her hard work. I applaud her!!

[@harleyzbest44]

AWESOME...Congratulations to you, Gabrielle. You deserved to win because you ARE the best of the best!!!! Thank you for being an inspiration to all young people, whatever their race may be. You won because you are the VERY best!!!!!

[@sheinacolfer]

She is also my inspiration, I'm 18 and have been doing a bit of gymnastics. I'm moving to Australia to give myself a better shot at it, to be the best i can be before i really get too old! Best of luck to you :) anything really is possible!

[@jenn080203]

What a sweet girl!! Good for her, I know she is having the time of her life right now!

[@erm1007]

i was looking at gymnastics videos and clicked on the wrong video and it was of gabby!!! Best mistake ever! Gabby your AWESOME at gymnastics!! them haters are nothing they just wanna be you! believe in yourself!! dont listens to the haters!! Keep up the awesome work!! Love-One of your MANY fans Emily

[@TheMelissarr]

So glad she made it out of everything she sacrificed! All her hard work went to good because she has inspired so many young people to do gymnastics.

[@dukenthaylor]

Such DRIVE to leave home like that, at her age! So PROUD of Gabby!

[@hollypollydollyy]

Sooo so proud of gabby!!!

[@faithanddevotion]

I agree wit you. She willingly made sacrifices that practically nobody will ever make at such a young age, very smart young lady. She's smart, positive and beautiful.

[@sparkleymane1]

She's amazing I've even started gymnastics cause she's inspired me so much! If gabby can do it I can't do it :)

[@archanjo88]

Wonderful wonderful wonderful...Gabby I love seeing these two awesome lovely women champions together. HOPE for the future.

[@KeondraRB]

im so proud of her, not just because shes black but shes in high school still, and she won a gold medal in representation of the U.S.A and worked her butt off! Blessing are still to come for this young lady

[@LouisaCrane_luvss_u]

her goal reached!! she must be sooo happy!

[@Nik0081]

Wow, Dominique looks great!

[@kermitalexander6655]

Omg didn't realize this video was 8years ago

[@boblasher1]

This is the Golden Girl of the Olympics!! Just a wonderful little girl. Go Gabby!!

[@Bronz61]

Sooo proud

[@simonestrachan40]

Lets Go Gabby I am pulling so hard for you to live out that dream and get to the very top of the podium.

[@dunbar4k]

America is so proud of Abby Douglas' talent and character!

[@KittnKAbooDle81]

what an amazing parent!

[@neetrab]

Cute interview. And Dominique looks so beautiful here.

[@nightswimmer99]

Don't let the haters get to you. Gabby was brilliant and beautiful and is now an Olympic Gold Medalist and no amount of hate can take that away from her, ever. And if it makes you feel better, a lot of us will not forget how exciting your Beth Tweddle was in the uneven bars competition. I really wish she had hit that landing; if Gabby couldn't get that one, I wanted Beth to get it. You should be proud of her too.

[@75smurfette]

She seems so sweet, and I wish her the very best of luck!!

[@Heatherdvaughn]

I am 33. This girl inspires ME!

[@tatadolli]

She is so amazing

[@grantexans]

I am loving this! Dominique You are a gorgeous woman and Gabriel you are absolutely beautiful. So proud, so happy for ya'll. DD I heard what you said about the hair thing THANK YOU! My daughter is an athlete and when she is kicking butt it shows. WE ARE NOT OUR HAIR PEOPLE. Black women are deeper than THAT!

[@minkcadet5857]

I love you Gabby💙

[@paigelampano8152]

great mother

[@JahRebelstyle]

I very proud to have Gabby representing the best in US gymnastics :)

[@xpinkynikkix]

amazing! Shes just so amazing! talented, beautiful, inspiring! damn i need to do something with my life..

[@test1729]

Wow - just wow. After seeing that interview, I thought no one could come away feeling nothing but inspired and a smile. Someone said "SHE IS THE FIRST PERSON IN THE WORLD" to win the all around in gymnastic who did not have European ancestry. So, her achievement is not only nationwide but worldwide. If she is ever unfortunate enough to see some of these hateful posts, I hope she will cling that she is a citizen of the world (in addition to being a citizen of the US).

[@MrIcepdj]

thank you for your comment you really open my mind ! thank you very much !!!

[@krieg606]

Gabby has Angel!! Gabby is a Girl of Gold!! Gabby is the best of the world!!! Sha has a fascinating personality and is so sweet. She is a Champion! Gabby, we are proud of you!! YOU ARE THE BEST OF THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AWESOME GABBY!!!!

[@X-AEA-12]

She's so inspiring.

[@babybelle32a]

That was so sweet.

[@StratagemBlue]

So happy for her. While a bunch of useless people try to make race debates all over the world, Gabby's having the time of her life and making history, winning gold medals and living a dream few of us could ever have achieved. So talented, and such a sweet smile!

[@CourtneySmithA]

Wow talent. Great interview!

[@MirandaRights008]

She is just as cute as she can be! Few children REALLY know what they want to do and do it. She looks genuinely happy in what she is doing. If not she's a very talented actress. Many girls in this sport are pushed. What a wonderful role model she is for kids. Proving you can be anything you want to if you put your mind to it. And letting them know there WILL be sacrifices. Nothing is free.

[@awarrenify]

She won her medals in their training and the recogio.Gabby Olympics, is a sweet girl, and that makes it easy to embrace his triumph

[@KristenMarie01]

you rock gabby thanks so much for being an inspiration to do gymnastics again but I'm not African American but thanks!!!!!!

[@AuntyM66]

If i hear one word about that girls's hair being a mess, i will knock that person out. This girl is going places, STOP criticizing her hair. She beautiful, talented and bright. We to young people like Gabbi.

[@4EverLifehouse]

She is AWESOME! And so tiny! She's a great gymnast and I am rooting for her to take GOLD! TEAM GABBY! TEAM USA!

[@sacci2000]

Congrat"s Gaby you win GOLDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[@SwingSetFitness]

Great interview!

[@nikkib478]

she is amazing

[@osuntoyin]

Gabby has worked hard, she has a purposeful goal, and wants to open the road for others that have been told they could not do it. No matter how many pathetic, low life, insecure haters she has- they did not give her her gifts, and the haters cant take them. She has heart- that's something many are already missing. The same way every other race can be proud of themselves- African-Americans can and WILL do the same. We are/were athletes, warriors, craftsmen, the list goes on-& that wont change

[@BeeKimble8690]

She is absolutely adorable

[@ebony38ish]

Congrtas Gabby..n i love ur hair. Don't listen to the negative comments, Keep pursuing ur dreams!

[@blessedsosweetly]

JUST AWESOME LOVELY INSPIRING BEAUTIFUL EVERYTHING WONDERFUL, GO GABBY SO HAPPY FOR YOU. WOW WOW AND WOW!

[@BigMac067]

Love u Gabbie !!!! U the best !!!

[@Porsche12212]

love her!

[@mikelester1164]

i freaking love this girl

[@cloverskies77]

She is so cute & she will inspire more kids to go to go into gymnastics.

[@jclaxton78]

This girl is the definition of a winner.

[@ColtsPacers1]

Hey, if it inspires this person, why criticize? If Gabby inspires this person enough to make it to the olympics, more power to them

[@goonsmile]

shes awesome

[@oliveluvshorses]

love you gabby

[@millfordsange]

Go Gabby! So proud of you little sister! Go Team USA!

[@GrandpaPlayedBox]

Go for the gold Gabby! Beautiful girl and a beautiful video.

[@lola789ify1]

She is soo adorable!!

[@mcsmaria28]

Dominique is gorgeous!

[@saywhat10024]

It's funny how Jordyn already has endorsement deals with kelloggs among others because she is what they thought society would want her to look like. Gabby quietly got better and better and PEAKED at the Olympics.... Congrats Gabby, you are the Best

[@MrTracythomas1]

Bless your heart darlin....Yea USA!!
