LONDON â The moment was both overwhelming and unbelievable. After U.S. gymnast Gabby Douglas made history Thursday by becoming the first African-American to win the all-around Olympic gold, there was so much to process.
Although men were originally the only ones allowed to compete in the Olympic Games, this soon changed. Several women took part in the ancient Games, and even won competitions.
