Photos: U.S. gymnast Gabby Douglas wins all-around gold in London
Make it a pair of golds for Gabby Douglas, who added the all-around title to the one she won with the U.S. team two nights ago. Douglas became the third straight American to win gymnastics' biggest prize, taking the lead on the very first event Thursday night and never really letting anyone else get close. She finished with a score of 62.232, less than three-tenths ahead of Viktoria Komova of Russia. [--The Associated Press]
