After winning the team final earlier in the Games, USA golden girls Gabrielle "Gabby" Douglas and Aly Raisman had another shot at glory Thursday in the women's all-around competition.

With Russian frontrunners Aliya Mustafina and Viktoria Komova also vying for the most coveted prize in women's gymnastics, the exciting competition came down to the final routines.

After the first rotation on vault, 16-year-old Douglas sat in the top spot in the standings ... and she never gave up that rank, winning the all-around gold medal!

An uncharacteristic and major error on beam left Raisman in fourth place behind Komova (silver) and Mustafina (bronze).


With Komova on her tail throughout all four events, Douglas pulled out the win with a total score of 62.232. It was a pressure-packed fight to the finish and an even more exciting victory for the gymnast who used to struggle with consistency, especially in big meets.

Douglas watched the scoreboard with a serious expression and cried when she saw the result, waving to the crowd.

Her win comes on the heels of another big victory for her: taking home the team gold medal Tuesday with the rest of the "Fab Five: Raisman, McKayla Maroney, PEOPLE.com blogger Jordyn Wieber and Kyla Ross.

The ever-likeable Douglas (who won PEOPLE's favorite of the Fab Five poll) was the only gymnast on the team to compete in all four events of the team final.

Culture › Re: To Give And Collect Things With The Left Hand Disrespectful? by tpia5: 9:38pm On Aug 04, 2012
I think bias against the left hand is a universal thing.

But westerners dropped it from their culture once they got industrialized.

Nigeria/africa isnt modernized, hence we hold on to some outdated beliefs.

However, this doesnt mean lefties arent weird and wonderful people, lol.
