Gabby Douglas is really big in her hometown. Really big and painted on a wall.

The gold-medal-winning gymnast has a giant mural painted in her honor in Virginia Beach, Va. And she loves it.

“WOW!!! This is amazing!! (hashtag)so honored,” Douglas tweeted Friday from the Olympics in London, where the 16-year-old gymnast won two gold medals at the Summer Games.

The mural shows Douglas holding a gold medal with an American flag backdrop. It says “Way to go Gabby.”

    I don’t even want to speak about Va Beach, but the guys who painted this mural are more than talented. On our news, they stated that, the artists asked several businesses about paining the mural, but Only AJ Gators accepted ( before she won gold). Go Gabby!
