Gabby Douglas is back for her grand finale.
The American two-time gold medalist has a chance for one more title before she leaves the London Games, competing Tuesday on the balance beam.
Even Douglas wouldn't have expected to make the final in the event a month ago, considering she had been so shaky in training. A fall off the beam on the second day of the U.S. championships in June cost her the national title.
But lately Douglas has the highest scores of anybody on the talented U.S. women's roster. She is determined to keep that run going and finish strong after placing eighth — and last — in the uneven bars final Monday with a score of 14.9.
"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."
