She believed in God and her coach believed in her that one day she would make it to the Olympics. Following her emotional win at the 2012 Summer Games, she publicly praised God and thanked Him for an amazing blessing. She said, "It is everything I thought it would be; being the Olympic champion, it definitely is an amazing feeling. And I give all the glory to God. It's kind of a win-win situation. The glory goes up to him and the blessings fall down on me." She soon after took to Twitter and said, "Let all that I am praise the LORD; may I never forget the good things He does for me." Her name is Gabby Douglas.
