This morning on NBC’s Today, 16-year-old U.S. Olympian Gabrielle “Gabby” Douglas talked to host Savannah Guthrie about her historic win yesterday at the Summer Olympic games in London, where Gabby became the first African-American to win a gold medal in the gymnastics individual all-around competition. During the interview, Gabby explains what she was thinking and feeling during the event, and she displays during the interview the same beyond-her-years poise with which she executed so brilliantly on the field of competition. And, of course, she flashes her now-famous smile on a few occasions.
