The three-time Olympic champion said she hasn’t given up hope of making the cut for the 2028 Olympics Games in Los Angeles.
When Team USA heads to Paris this summer to compete in the Olympic Games, Gabby Douglas won’t be among its ranks. The three-time Olympic champion has withdrawn from this weekend’s Xfinity U.S. Gymnastics Championships, her last chance to qualify for a shot at 2024 Olympic glory.“I love this sport and I love pushing my limits,” Douglas told the network on Wednesday.
“I honestly didn’t do the best that I wanted,” she said after the Classic, her first elite-level competition since the 2016 Rio Olympics. “But I have to give myself a little grace because it’s been so long.” Had she qualified for next month’s Olympic trials, Douglas would have been the oldest American woman to compete at the Olympic level in gymnastics in more than 70 years. She also would have been the first American woman to make three Olympic teams since the legendary artistic gymnast Dominique Dawes.
