Gymnast Gabby Douglas Would ‘Love’ to Return to the Olympics


Gabby Douglas first appeared in the 2012 London Olympics and again in the 2016 Rio Olympics, but didn’t make a return for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics

(During the 2016 Rio Olympics, Douglas faced criticism for not placing her hand over her heart during the U.S. national anthem and not joining a standing ovation for two of her teammates among other things. After the Parade of Nations and Opening Ceremony took place in July 2021, the athletes have begun competing in all sorts of new and existing sporting events — and racking up medals. But I didn’t want to keep carrying anger, pain, sadness, or regret and through my tears and hurt, I’ve found peace,” Douglas wrote via Instagram alongside two black-and-white shots of her on the balance beam.
