Stars including Beyonce, Justin Bieber and Lady GaGa have sent their congratulations to the USA gymnastics team, and specifically 16 year-old Gabby Douglas, who added an all-round individual gold to the one she'd gained as part of the team event.

Her feats were inspirational to some of the US' biggest entertainment stars. Beyonce wrote on her blog "Huge congratulations to 16 year old Olympic gold medallist Gabby Douglas - wow - what a thrill to watch you take this gold! I can tell you've been working hard for so long - enjoy this moment, it's yours. Thank you for inspiring all of us!"
