To celebrate U.S. gymnast Gabby Douglas' gold medal in the
women's all-around at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, Kellogg's announced
today that Gabby will be featured on special-edition boxes of Kellogg's Corn Flakes,
which will be on shelves this fall.
"We are proud to support the potential of our young
athletes and our amazing team of U.S. gymnasts," said Doug VanDeVelde,
senior vice president of Morning Foods, Kellogg Company. "Over the course of the past week, we
have all shared in the thrilling moments and passion of USA Gymnastics, and we
are excited to bring that into the homes of families across the country."
"Gabby Douglas has helped Team USA make history this
week. The team gold was the first since
the 1996 Olympic Games and this is the first time that USA Gymnastics has
captured both the team gold and the individual all-around gold medal,"
said USA Gymnastics President, Steve Penny.
"She also became the third consecutive American gymnast to win the
all-around gold medal, making this an even more significant
accomplishment."
The cereal company also announced
the kickoff of the 2012 Kellogg's Tour of Gymnastics Champions, a 40-city
national tour featuring Team USA's top performing gymnasts, which will begin in
San Jose, California on September 8, 2012.
