American gymnast Gabby Douglas completed his training in 2016 after two successful participations in the Summer Olympics. However, she has yet to officially announce her retirement, but did not participate in the US Olympic team trials for Tokyo 2020.
Gabby’s career breakthrough came at the 2011 World Championships in Tokyo, where she won the gold medal in the team competition. She then won two gold medals at the 2012 London Games, team and all-around, but failed to medal in an individual event. She also won another gold medal at the 2016 Rio Games. With all these achievements, she became the first African-American woman to become an Olympic individual all-around champion.
Why did Gabby Douglas quit gymnastics and where is she now?
In 2017, the 26-year-old apologized for a tweet she posted that led to a public rift between the members of the Final Five. For those who don’t know, apart from her, Simone Biles, Laurie Hernandez, Madison Kocian, And Ali Raismanwere the other members of Final Five MyKayla Skinner, Ragan Smith, And Ashton Locklear act as three deputies.
Douglas apologized and said she did it “deeply sorry” because I said women should do it “Dress modestly and be elegant” to avoid temptation “Wrong amount”.
The tweet was in response to her 2016 teammate, Raisman, who previously confirmed that she was sexually assaulted by USA Gymnastics doctor Lawrence G. Nassar.
“It shocks me to see this, but it doesn’t surprise me…”
“Honestly, seeing this makes me cry because as a teammate, I expected more from you and your support.
“I support you Aly and all other women! STAY STRONG,” she tweeted.
After retiring from gymnastics, the California native became a media fixture with his roles in Kickin It and Undercover Boss. She was even crowned the winner of “The Masked Dancer” in February last year.
