Aug 06, 2012

No one was mystified by [the uproar](http://jezebel.com/5930785/haters-need-to-shut-the-hell-up-about-gabby-douglass-hair) over her hair more than Gabby Douglas, the two-time gold medalist and [history-making](https://colorlines.com/archives/2012/08/dominique_dawes_so_thrilled_to_change_my_website_after_gabby_douglas_win.html) Olympic gymnast. "I don’t know where this is coming from. What’s wrong with my hair?" Douglas told the [Huffington Post](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/05/gabby-douglas-hair-olympics-2012_n_1743897.html?utm_hp_ref=fb&src=sp&%2338;comm_ref=false). "I’m like, ‘I just made history and people are focused on my hair?’ It can be bald or short, it doesn’t matter about (my) hair." "I don’t think people should be worried about that," she said of all the fuss about her hair. "We’re all champions and we’re all winners. I just say that it’s kind of, a stupid and crazy thought to think about my hair."
