Withdraws
Olympic all-around champion Gabby Douglas has withdrawn from this weekend’s U.S. Championships, ending her bid for the Paris Olympic team, a representative for Douglas confirmed to NBC News.
Douglas cited an ankle injury suffered in training this week.
“I love this game and I love pushing my limits,” Douglas told ESPN. “I hope I can inspire both my peers and the next generation of gymnasts that age is just a number and you can accomplish anything you work hard at.”
She said she wants to continue training to prepare for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.
Olympics 2024
Three-time Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas has withdrawn from competition at the U.S. gymnastics championships in Fort Worth, Texas, citing an ankle injury she suffered during training this week.
Douglas’s improbable bid to make the 2024 Paris Olympic team after an eight-year hiatus due to injury ended. At age 28, Douglas would have been the oldest American woman to compete in gymnastics at the Olympics since 1952. Despite the injury, Douglas said he was proud of what he accomplished during his 18-month comeback.
“I love this game and I love pushing my limits,” Douglas told ESPN. “I hope I can inspire both my peers and the next generation of gymnasts that age is just a number, and you can achieve anything you work hard for.”
A two-time Olympian, Douglas became the first Black gymnast to win an Olympic all-around title at the 2012 London Games and helped lead the U.S. to back-to-back team gold medals in London and Rio in 2016. She announced her comeback to competition in February and returned to competition at the American Classic in Katy, Texas in April, where she qualified to compete at the U.S. Championships.
What happened to
Gabby Douglas stopped training in 2016. Although he never announced his retirement, he did not participate in the U.S. Olympic Team Trials for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Since then, there have been no reports of his training. Instead, she tried her hand at reality TV and became a motivational speaker, among other things.
Douglas will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of Chelsea Memel, who came out of nine-year retirement and competed at national level as a 32-year-old. However, he did not make it to the Olympic trials. If Douglas succeeds in qualifying for the 2024 Paris Olympics, she will become the oldest American female Olympic gymnast since 1952.
