In 2012, she became the first African American to win the Olympic gold medal in the individual all-around event and the first American gymnast to win both team and individual gold at the same Olympics. Gabby, the youngest of four, has two older sisters – Arielle and Joyelle – and an older brother Jonathan. She was home schooled by her host family for her high school years so that she could devote more time to gymnastics. At age 3, Douglas had perfected a straight cartwheel taught to her by her older brother and sister. At age 6, the 4’11”, 90-pound gymnast began formal gymnastics training, and by age 8 she had won a state championship. Gabby’s unique power and ability to perform high leaps and twists earned her the nickname, “The Flying Squirrel.” Her favorite events are the floor and beam. Photo courtesy of USOC/Long Photography Even though Gabby’s mother, Natalie Hawkins, and father Timothy Douglas, a U.S. Air Force staff sergeant, separated when she was 12, her mother was determined to support her daughter’s dreams of becoming an Olympian. After Gabby met Liang Chow, the 2008 Olympic coach of Shawn Johnson, she wanted to be coached by him. Her mother made the tough decision to allow Gabrielle to travel 200 miles to West Des Moines, Iowa, to live with a family she had never met so that Gabby could train at Chow’s gym. Though Douglas communicated with her mother daily via Skype™, she became homesick and wanted to quit and return home. In 2010, Douglas won her share of medals and began to make a name for herself nationally. She debuted in the national meet, SuperGirl Cup, and placed fourth all-around; placed third in the balance beam in the CoverGirl classic meet; won a silver medal on the balance beam and placed fourth all-around in the 2010 Junior National Championships; and won the uneven bars title in the 2010 Pan American Championships. In 2011, Douglas was a member of the US gymnastics team that won the gold medal in the team finals at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Tokyo, Japan. After winning the 2012 Olympic Trials, she would go on to be selected as a United States representative at the 2012 Summer Olympics. She was named Most Valuable Player (MVP) of Team USA at the 2012 London games. She competed for the US in all four events. In team finals she amassed the enormous total of 61,465 points. Her father and mother were both present cheering her on to victory. Gabby has proven not only to be a world class champion but also prides herself on being a role model with hopes of inspiring young girls everywhere. She has received national recognition and numerous accolades from multiple prestigious groups and organizations. The Associated Press named her the female athlete of the year; she appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated with her 2012 Olympian team; and was featured on Time magazine's July 2012 cover. Douglas also has her own line of gymnastics leotards and has published her book entitled, Grace, Gold and Glory: My Leap of Faith. Gabby’s sacrifices, determination and endurance resulted in the victorious accomplishment of her dream to become an Olympian. Her mantra: “Hard work, determination, faith and sacrifice” has served her well. Douglas has her sights on defending her title in the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro and earning a business degree. 28 © Copyright 2013. The Johns Hopkins University.

James, an only child, exhibited an early talent for sports by playing both football and basketball. His football coach, Frankie Walker, had a profound effect on James during his early childhood. During times of family hardships, LeBron lived with his coach’s family. While nurturing his football and basketball skills, they also provided a stable environment that allowed James to focus on his studies. James was recruited by his hometown high school, St. Vincent— St. Mary High School to play on their basketball team. Beginning in his freshman year, he was the team’s starter and averaged 18 points per game. This helped his El Nuevo Herald/McClatchy-Tribune/Getty Images team win a Division III state title, scoring 25 points in the championship game. He was also chosen for the USA Today All-USA First Team title. During his junior year, James gained national attention by appearing in SLAM Magazine. He was named PARADE magazine’s “High School Boys Basketball Player of the Year” and Gatorade “Player of the Year.” By his senior year, James appeared on the covers of ESPN—The Magazine and Sports Illustrated and received the title “Mr. Basketball” in Ohio.

James is 6’8” tall and has been the NBA Rookie of the Year; a three-time NBA MVP; a nine-time NBA All-Star; and has been named to eight All-NBA teams and four All-Defensive teams.

In 2004, James made his Summer Olympic debut as part of the US Olympic basketball team at the games in Athens, Greece. He and his teammates won bronze medals after defeating Lithuania. In 2005, James made NBA history again when he became the youngest player to score over 50 points in one game. In 2010, though it drew much controversy, James left the Cavaliers to join the Miami Heat. He helped the team end the 2011-12 season with a NBA championship win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. James is capable of playing any position on the team, with amazing athletic ability in speed and strength. Biking to practice in Miami is one of the ways he keeps in shape.

They reside in a 9 million dollar, three-story mansion in Coconut Grove, a Miami suburb. Some of his commercial endorsement include Nike™, Sprite™, McDonalds™ and State Farm™ Insurance.
