2 I don’t know her, her life, anything about the sport, etc. Just what I see on TV, just like the people dragging Gabby on the internet.

3 1st of all if you think Phelps' wagging finger was cool but wanna drag a woman – a black woman – for her “attitude” based on 1 pic...why?

4. Anyway, Gabby. I remember in 2012, she wasn’t expected to win. All the talk was Aly and Jordyn. Jordyn faltered, Gabby rose up.

5. Now imagine being literally *the best in the world* at what you do at 17 years old. In a sport where at 20, you’re probably over the hill

6. Now she's the defending champ, but on a team with maybe the best gymnast of all time. Gabby does well, but doesn’t outshine the sun.

7. Now Gabby has to spend days watching her team captain and the G.O.A.T. be the best in the world, remembering what it was like to be them.

8. Her roommates, Hernandez & Kocian, amazing competitors themselves, are young and probably in some sense pretty happy just to be there.

9. But Gabby’s been there. And at 21, contemplating her future, bunking with 16 year olds who are probably just living in the moment.

10. I can’t imagine the kind of emotional struggle all that adds up to. But the internet drags Gabby for not smiling.

11. Anyway, if you wanna have problems with Gabby Douglas’s attitude, maybe imagine being her.
