Already a two-time gold medalist, Gabby Douglas has a chance for one more title before she leaves the London Games, competing Tuesday on the balance beam.
Lately Douglas has the highest scores of anybody on the talented U.S. women's roster. After placing eighth in the uneven bar final Monday with a score of 14.9, she is determined to keep her run going.
"Beam has been excellent. If I can just do what I did in the all-around finals or team finals, then I'll be good," said Douglas, who won gold in the all-around and team competitions last week. "I'm going to get a lot of rest, just rest up, and do a lot of therapies and relax my body and hopefully prepare for that."
The 16-year-old Douglas would much prefer gold than a second-place silver to match that sparkly silver leotard she wore for the bars Monday.
Douglas hopes to set off one more festive party Tuesday before she's through.
"I want to finish strong and I'm going to do as best as I can," Douglas said. "Fresh day. Leave on a good note."
Tuesday's beam final is her last event of the Olympics. The session, which includes the floor exercise for women, is the last day of gymnastics here.
