Gabby Douglas’ bid for a spot in the 2024 Paris Olympics ended when she injured her ankle, but she’s not giving up on her comeback dreams
Gabby Douglas looks on prior to the 2024 Core Hydration Classic at XL Center on May 18, 2024 in Hartford, Connecticut.
“I know it's four years away, but I'm looking forward to it,” she said. “Still representing the USA, still continuing to do gymnastics, so I'm excited.”“It was very bittersweet,” she said of her injury. “And it was actually doing my signature skill, which is the full on the beam.” “Even when I was younger, I always loved going to the gym and challenging myself,” she said. “I was always a super daredevil. I would always just flip and try new things, and my coach would always say, ‘Wait, hold on. You're not ready for that. Let's do the basics to get to the more difficult skills.’”
