CONGRATS! YBF GOLD MEDALIST Gabby Douglas, More YBF Olympians Grab Medals!

Gabby Douglas and the rest of the 2012 US Women's Gymnastics Team proved they are the best in the world--literally--by copping the Olympic Gold Medal today in the Team Finals. Get the deets inside and find out which other YBF atheletes have already won medals...

Today in London, (if you weren't watching the live feed and missed all the spoilers today--damn you NBC!) gymnast Gabby Douglas led the 2012 US women’s gymnastics team to an Olympic team gold medal. 

The final round just aired in the US, and emotions were high as the Fab Five beat out Russia (silver) and Romania (Bronze).  The entire team--Jordyn Wieber, Gabrielle Douglas, McKayla Maroney, Alexandra Raisman, Kyla Ross--did a fabulous job in all parts of the competition.

It's the US first team gold medeal since Dominique Dawes helped the Magnificant Seven to that #1 spot in 1996.

 

Also, New Yorker and TEAM USA Women's Swim teammember Lia Neal (shown on the far left) won a bronze medal in the women's 4x100-meter relay race recently. 

And Cullen Jones won a silver medal in the men's 4x100m freestyle relay recently as well.

By the way, Michael Phelps won the silver in the 200 butterfly and gold in the 4x200 freestyle relay today for USA. As a result, his name his going in the history books as the most decorated Olympian in the world with 19 medals total. That number couldclimb to 22 by the time these Olympics are over. WORK!

After Day 4, US medal count is in second place with 22 total, 8 Gold.  China is leading with 23 medals total, 13 Gold.

Happy to see african

Happy to see african americans dominating at the olympics in areas other than the typical track and field and basketball. Too bad Kevin Hart reffered to Gabby Douglas as "that peasy headed little girl" on Chelsea Lately last night while hosting smh. If anyone else said it, that would be breaking news.

Gabby Douglas was absolutely

Gabby Douglas was absolutely the best amongst the lot, they all killed it, but "Flying Squirell" was spectacular last night. She alone competed on all 4 sections , Gabby I know that your faith in the word of God will continue to set you apart, may you continue to shine like the light that is lit upon the hills. I know you will kick ass in the personal all rounder as well. Congratulations!

Congrats Gabby love Kyla Ross

Congrats Gabby love Kyla Ross too. Kyla Ross father is blasian so let's not forget her as well. I just hate how the media loves to focus on the jewish one and the weaver girl. They all made big contributions in getting the gold. I hope Gabby gets gold in the individuals. You can do it Gabby!

Yes, it seems like they

Yes, it seems like they didn't show any background on Kayla Ross and McKayla (forget her last name, proves they didnt cover her enough). It should have been equal among all of them. If you didnt know any better, you would think that Gabby, Alex, and Jordan were the only girls on the team.

Cullen looks so mad that he got silver. They should've won that gold. Sad that Cullen wasn't on the 2nd relay team on which Lochte was able to redeem himself, and they beat out France.
