Gabby Douglas can certainly go towards filing a petition, and if accepted, we can witness the 8-year long return becoming a reality. After petitioning, she would be able to compete at the American Classic in late April. This would be quite a path, as after the event would be the venerable U.S. Classic, starting on 17 May. With just three months until the USA women’s gymnastics team is set to be announced at the U.S. Olympic trials in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Douglas’ opportunities to show her level on the Paris squad intensify.

Gabby Douglas eyes Paris 2024 Olympics after an 8-year hiatus

The gymnastic-prodigy announced her return to the Winter Cup last year, where she would be returning after a hiatus of 8-years! However, she had to withdraw from the event at the last moment as she tested positive for Covid, and this was the final straw for her. The national camp is a vital striding stone as it is a selection event for international competitions, including the Jesolo Trophy 2024 and the Pacific Rim Championships in April. However, the team declaration by USA Gymnastics turned out to be a disappointment for Douglas as she was not included in the team.

One of her major achievements was when the cover of TIMES featured Gabby Douglas, alongside Sports Illustrated. She also made appearances in Disney’movies and left her impression on the entertainment industry too. After missing out on the Winter Cup, she is looking forward to making history at the Paris Olympics in 2024. With all the uncertainties surrounding the 28-year-old, all eyes would be on her journey towards the dream.
