America’s sweethearts, GABBY DOUGLAS and her teammates, turned tears into Olympic gold. HOW THEY DID IT!
IN an awesome display of skill and willpower, Gabby Douglas’ four teammates also overcame hardships to bring home Olympic gold.
Jordyn Wieber’s mom Rita almost didn’t get to see her 17-year-old daughter compete in the Olympic Games. While training for a marathon, Rita was run over by a car and suffered multiple injuries, including a broken leg and severe damage to her neck.
But Rita recovered. And wherever Jordyn, who hails from DeWitt, Mich., is competing, her mom jogs to a nearby church and says a prayer for her daughter.
