In 2012, 16-year-old Gabby Douglas<\/a><\/strong> wowed gymnastics fans with a sweep at the London Olympics, becoming the first-ever woman of color to win the gold medal in both the team and all-around events in the same Olympic Games<\/a><\/strong>. Although Rio 2016 earned the young prodigy another top team accolade, the world has barely heard her name since. <\/p>\n

After being an integral part of the iconic “Final Five” U.S. gymnastics team at the 2016 Olympics, alongside Simone Biles, Aly Raisman, Madison Kocian, and Laurie Hernandez, Thomas stopped competing at a professional level, taking a step back from gymnastics<\/a> for nearly eight years. In 2024, she announced she would be coming back to the sport that had brought her so much success in the past, generating massive buzz around the possibility that the historic 2012 champion could be making a grand return to the Olympic<\/a> stage come July. Then an ankle injury days before the U.S. Championships put those plans on hold. <\/p>\n

Why did Gabby Douglas stop competing?<\/h2>\n
