Photographer Martin Schoeller displayed his portraits of 3 Olympians in TIME Magazine’s July 30th issue. Each Olympian had a cover spread for the Summer Olympics Special; Gabby Douglas‘ caption read: ‘Gymnast Gabby Douglas Finds Her Balance.’ Well, Gabby found her balance & made history!
Above, Douglas eats breakfast while stretching on the stairs of her host family’s home in Des Moines, Iowa.
Take a look at more of Gabby’s photo shoot:
