Gabby Douglas  

Gabby Douglas is an Olympic gold medalist who has accomplished more athletically than most of us could ever dream of. Yet, her hair, of all things, became the focus of criticism during her performances.

Some people commented that her hair didn’t look “professional” enough, as if a gymnast flipping and twisting through the air should somehow keep every strand in place. The absurdity of these critiques overshadowed her incredible achievements, but Gabby took it all in stride, knowing that her talent speaks for itself.
