Su abandono en el US Classic había dejado alguna pista de que no le estaba siendo sencillo el regreso al primer nivel internacional. Campeona all around en Londres 2012 e integrante del quinteto ganador de la dorada por equipos en Río 2016, Gabrielle Douglas volvió a entrenarse el año pasado con la intención de integrar el equipo olímpico norteamericano por tercera vez. Sin embargo, ese objetivo ha quedado, en principio, postergado.
Durante los entrenamientos previos al Campeonato Nacional de Estados Unidos, que se realizará el próximo fin de semana en Texas, la gimnasta de 28 años sufrió una lesión en el tobillo que la deja afuera del proceso de Selección para París 2024.
Si hubiera competido en París 2024, Douglas se habría convertido en la mujer estadounidense de más edad en participar en la gimnasia artística desde la década de 1950. De todos modos, Gabby expresó su deseo de comenzar su rehabilitación y prepararse para los juegos de Los Ángeles de 2028, Juegos para los que tendrá 32 años.
