4. Gabby Douglas: From Gymnast to Knitting Queen
Being mature for your age is one thing, but Gabrielle “Gabby” Douglas is taking it to a whole other level. The 16-year-old gold medal gymnast is apparently an avid knitter, according to her official profile on the USA Gymnastics website.
Gabby should knit a wool sweater to warm the heart of that sad little Russian girl, Viktoria Komova, whose hopes and dreams she snatched when she won the gold.
Gabby is an ice-cold G. Don’t let the knitting needles fool ya.
