Watch Olympic Champion Gabby Douglas Perfectly Execute This Insane Beam Routine

Screen Shot 2016-03-08 at 12.35.21 PM

We’re less than six months away from the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro and Olympic athlete Gabby Douglas is already proving that she’s determined to win it all. In case you don’t remember, Gabby Douglas was a member of the 2012 Olympic team, dubbed the “Fierce Five.” She killed it at the last Olympics, winning a gold medal in the all-around competition as well as placing first as a team.

One might assume that after winning two gold medals at the Olympics, Gabby would slow down. She’s already conquered the highest achievement possible in her sport, so what’s the point? Well, Gabby didn’t slow down. She spent that past four years training harder, longer, and better. She’s coming back with a vengeance in summer of 2016, something you can tell by her recent performance at the AT&T American Cup.

That nearly perfect (gymnastics judges are notoriously picky) beam routine was enough to snag Gabby the title.

If that’s what she brought to the AT&T American Cup, I can’t wait to see what Gabby has in store for the Olympics this summer.
