London Olympic Medalist Gabby Douglas Named Sportswoman of the Year

London Olympic all-around champion Gabby Douglas has won Sportswoman of the Year honors from the Women's Sports Foundation.

The gymnast edged out Lindsey Vonn, Serena Williams, Missy Franklin, Allyson Felix, and Paralympians Jessica Long and Tatyana McFadden.

She is the third gymnast to win the award, joining fellow Olympic gold medalists Mary Lou Retton (1984) and Nastia Liukin (2008).

Douglas won the all-around gold at the London Olympics, the fourth American — and first African-American — to win gymnastics' biggest prize. She also helped the U.S. women to the team title, their first since 1996 and second overall.
