Lola, 14, is legally blind, but that hasn't stopped her from competing in the difficult sport of gymnastics. The Doctors give Lola the surprise of a lifetime, when she gets to meet her hero, Olympic gold medalist Gabrielle Douglas!
I can see perfectly fine, have been doing gymnastics for 2 years, and can't even to a back handspring. She is truly amazing
*do
Lola (Libby to friends) is one of my amazing friends, I know that she would be outrageously honored to hear you say that. Thank you so much for supporting her!
I just got enrolled for gymnastics.

I'm a friend of Lola ( she goes by Libby to close friends ) and she would be astonished to hear this.
Abby Grace I have the same legal blindness but however mine is due to a condition called hydrocephalus and I don't see peripheral. I am struggling to move forward. I hope I can get closr to your outlook one day. Hugs Jessica Ps I am starting Mobility instruction to try to get out of the house because I have been home based for about 10 years for different medical reasons.
wowww I was speechless when they said a gyminst that's blind it just shows how people who are blind or has a disablety can do such things that others can do so amazing 😀💚👍
this made me smile and cry at the same time :)
Me too.😃😭
THIS TOUCHES MY HEART
And beautiful I was crying now
Hello everyone this is Lola To answer some uncertain questions I saw in these comments. So for starters I am LEGALLY blind. What this means is I can see everything that everyone else can see. However, I don't have depth perception, and so I can't tell how far away the bar or vault is. I have a condition called achiasma which triggers another condition called nystagmus which is why some of you said you saw my eyes moving back and forth. Also occasionally since my eyes are constantly moving if I'm really focusing my head will Bob back and forth, and on very rare occasions It will appear to me that the beam is moving back and forth. This is something I have had my entire life, and I have never seen any differently so I don't know how much different what I see is from what you see. Finally it was an incredible experience and I would like to thank you all for all of your positive comments.

Hi Lola! I'm a blind gymnast too, from the UK! I have double elevator palsy, nystagmus, cone dysfunction, photophobia, astigmatism and a few other conditions and compete with the GBR disability gymnastics squad! Lovely to know there's another blind gymnast out there! I'd love to chat sometime and compare notes on being a blind gymnast :) your an inspiration!
libby walter hi Lola you are an inspiration girl, keep doing your thing!!!!
Hi, Lola. It's so inspiring to hear your story and how you did not let your vision problems stop you from doing what you love. I bet you're an inspiration to many as Gabby is. I guess you get made fun of sometimes for how your eyes are, and I can relate to that since back when I was little boys made fun of the fact that I was Asian. But after some time, I did not let that stop me from being who I am today. Continue to be the strong young woman you are now and never let anyone or anything bring you down, metaphorically and physically!
libby walter thanks for sharing your incredible story! I needed to hear it today.
awee this made me cry
GABBY AND LOLA ARE THE BEST...THANKS GABBY FOR COMING TO THE SHOW, AND THANKS TO THE CREATORS OF THE SHOW FOR SUCH A SPECIAL MOMENT.
I lost my leg when I was three. One thing I learned a long time ago that even if EVERYONE says what you want to try doing is impossible because of your disability, if you think you can do it, try. No one but you can know what your limitations are and the only way to find them is to try and fail. But those limitations ARE almost always far beyond what the "experts" will tell you they are.
If you think you can't, you won't.
I agree
hey Eric nothing is impossible the word says it itself i'm possible and that is a quote from Arden from musical.ly
Kira Brown
I don't agree that nothing is impossible. But much of what we THINK is impossible, isn't.
It is, for example, it is impossible for me to beat nearly anyone in a foot race. I simply can't run very fast, I have never been a fast runner.
But you should never focus on what you CAN'T do. Focus on what you CAN do.
And the only person who can know for sure what you can't do is YOU. Don't be discouraged by failure, don't be afraid to fail. You learn nothing new from success. You only confirm what you already knew to be true.
The only real teacher is failure. And failure is only will to teach if you face the reason you failed. Failure is not a kind teacher, but it is damn effective if you can understand what it says to you.
great. testimony....
Agreed!
amazing moment!
that was so incredibly nicely, both of them are truly lovely young ladies
truly inspirational.
Meeting Gabby Douglas is my big big big big biggest dream
Makes me happy
I can't even do half of those things with my eyesight.
Beautiful

That is truly a good story to see her know that Lola is very strong and going through that very happy to know that she was able to see I mean to hear someone hear someone that is strong like she is

I totally lost it emotionally after this.
Was i the only one that saw her eyes go up and down just a little on both sides?
She is so lucky!! Gaby is my role model 2
How the heck could she DO that -- blind?! Wow...
I love u Gaby!!!!!!
She is sooo pretty :)

I go to Lolas gym!
I damn there cried
4 dislikes r u kidding me seriously boo them shame on them it should me zero dislikes but I respect that everyone has their own opinion
omg she goes to my gym
coach jack is my coach!!
@@sophiewilliams1175 ah i just recently quit, but i know who that is :0
@@nikkinss oh i'm sorry to hear that, you were probably an seasoned gymnast! that's super cool tho! :P
It is me or does she seems really nervous? She is very pretty and has a really nice soothing voice though.
gabby your my role model
Even if she is blind dose not mean she can't be a gymnast every body can be a gymnast no mater what Lola is pretty and gaby Douglas was so kind to do that but I just have one question did Lola get to keep the gold metal that gaby Douglas have her or what
i know that girl, she’s friends with my older sister
Why doesn't anyone that watches lola understand her condition. For god sake people she is legally blind not fully blind!
I am her best friend and have known her for years and these comments on her videos just piss me off.
Your really pretty
No dislikes!!! Yay!
How can she do it
i wish i could meet katie ledecky
Super like :)
im sorry but i have never understood this, does legally blind mean u cant see at all or you are partially blind?
Partially blind.
it mean u can only see shapes bacicly
does she get to keep the medal
She didn't get to keep the medal but she did wear it for a long time back stage
9 DISLIKES¿????????
15 now😢
17 now😢😢😢
18 now 😢😢😢😥😥😥
I am only watching because is a gymnast
my role model is gabby, because how she grew up in michigan, and I live in michigan
gymnastics is the best sport ever im in level ten
u sure about that
Doctors still can't restore her sight. Bummer, man!
Hey I am a gymnast as well
But I have a lot of injuries
No disrespect, but I have always wondered why her eyes shake. Is it related to nerves?
Lola here, no. It’s part of my visual impairment. It’s called Nystagmus.
Did she get a picture with gabby?
You are savage af
0:06 iM lEgaLlY bLinD
Okokokok I'm sorry I feel awful
dog placement tests or beat this what a big time
so if you're legally blind what can you see and not see?
omg my name is actually gabrielle swinton and my nickname is gabby
Why wasn't she able to say anything to Gabby Douglas? That's ridiculous.
+starships fly You would be the same way so shut up.
Is she only blind in one eye or both?!?
that story does not make me feel it's real sorry
it is, i have the same coach as her and my coach tells me all abt her
She got onto this because she is legally blind and srill does gymnastics? Guess what? So am i. I have been legally blind for five years now and still doing gymnastics. It doesn‘t make a diffrence if you learn how to work around it.
It does matter and this is my friend your talking about so watch your mouth. She has been working her butt off i bet longer than you ever have and she is still doing gymnastics today and is a level 8 gymnast doing level 9 skills because they moved the skills. But i will tell you i did gymnastics with her for 6 years and even if that seems stupid to you i don't care because i can say she is one of the hardest working teammate, friend, student, and gymnast you could ever meet. Do t say this is a lie because you haven't meet her your just looking at her from a screen.
I completely agree with Ling Lee - I'm a blind gymnast too and it does make a massive difference - you have to work so much harder to do the same things everyone else does. Bear in mind there are different levels of blindness, Lola (and I) may well have worse vision which would impact on our gymnastics more
