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:

Douglas, who is from Virginia, lives with a host family so she can train at Chow’s Gymnastics in Des Moines, Iowa. She is seen here with her young host sisters–all dancers or gymnasts themselves.
