Gabby Douglas Corn Flakes Box Olympic Gold Medal Winner Olympic Champion

Gabby Douglas, who won the Olympic women’s all-around on Thursday, is already on a box of Kellogg’s Corn Flakes. USA Gymnastics sent a tweet with a photo of Douglas holding the box. Kellogg’s is a sponsor of the U.S. Olympic Committee.

Things are moving fast for the 16-year-old who, fittingly, trains in Des Moines, Iowa, the heart of corn country. Also Friday, she appeared on NBC’s Today show, first by herself and then along with the three other American women to win the coveted all-around title: Mary Lou Retton, Carly Patterson and Nastia Liukin.

“You are going to have ‘Olympic champion’ with your name forever,” Patterson told her. “Take the time to soak it all in.”

While on the TV, she reminisced about the road she took to the gold medal, moving from her Virginia Beach, Va., home at 14 to Iowa for the coaching.

“It took a lot of hard days in the gym, a lot of drive,” she said. “Gold medals are made out of sweat, blood and tears and effort in the gym every day.”

After her final routine, the floor exercise, she was not sure she had done enough for the gold medal. And then she had to wait for the final competitor, Victoria Komova of Russia.
