While Maroney was on the presenting side of the event, teammate Gabby Douglas attended as a nominee for two awards: Best Female Athlete and Queen of Swag. Douglas, who has been in the news this week following her second split with former coach Liang Chow, won both of the awards for which she was competing. She faced tough competition in both categories, including stars like Gracie Gold, Danica Patrick, Hope Solo, Serena Williams, and several others from a range of sports.
