    The two-time Olympic gold medalist took to Twitter to announce she is joining the world of emoji owners. She released her new app called “Gabbymojis,” which features her gymnastic moves in GIFs, emojis and stickers, and will include some motivational messages and inspirational quotes.

    “My dream was to create a fun app that is full of emojis for anyone to use to express their feelings with entertaining pictures,” she told Teen Vogue.

    She joins celebrity emoji owners such as two-time NBA MVP Stephen Curry, singer Justin Bieber and TV personality Kim Kardashian. Douglas’ app costs $1.99 and is available on the iPhone and Android.
