Douglas, who became the first Black woman to win the Olympic all-around title when she triumphed in London in 2012, competed for the first time in eight years on Saturday at the American Classic.
Her comeback, however, has been shrouded in mystery. She was supposed to compete at the Winter Cup in February, but she pulled out just days before after. She has limited press exposure, and unlike 2020 Olympic gold medalists Sunisa Lee and Jade Carey, who competed at the American Classic, she opted not to participate in podium training on Friday.
With less than 100 days to go before the 2024 Paris Olympics, drone shots show venues that will host some events of the Games.Douglas came off bars twice, and her floor routine lacked the crispness and endurance to compete with anyone hoping to make a serious bid for the Olympic team.
