Pioneering gold medal-winning gymnast Gabby Douglas hints that she's attempting an Olympics comeback with hopes of competing in next summer's Games.
Douglas posted pictures of herself back in the gym, telling her 1.5 million Instagram followers that she's in a good mental health place, having"found peace."Douglas will be 28 by summer 2024 when the Olympics take place in Paris."i know i have a huge task ahead of me and i am beyond grateful and excited to get back out on the floor," she wrote.
She ended her message with emojis of a flexing bicep and a smiling face with sunglasses and"let's do this #2024."in London in 2012: in the individual all-around and the team all-around. She helped the U.S. score team all-around gold again in Rio de Janeiro in 2016. She was the first Black woman to win an all-around title, and she was the toast of the 2012 competition.
