Gabby Douglas, the first African American to win the all-around gold medal for gymnastics, won the Sportswoman of the Year Award. Presented by the Women's Sports Foundation at the 33rd Annual Salute To Women In Sports Gala, Douglas is only the third gymnast to win the award.
In doing so, she beat out Serena Williams, Allyson Felix, and Missy Franklin, who also shined at the London Games.
She'll be featured in MTV's docu-series This Is How I Made It this Saturday, October 20 at 12:00 p.m. EST. Her memoir "Grace, Gold and Glory, My Leap of Faith" will be published in December.
