Gabby Douglas Attempts Olympic Comeback
Twelve Years After Winning an All-Around Gold Medal
Withdraws from Core Hydration Classic
Olympic gymnastics champion Gabby Douglas's comeback attempt has come to an end. The 2012 Olympic champion withdrew from this weekend's national championships on Wednesday, ending her hopes of competing in the 2024 Paris Games.
Douglas, who has been out of competition since the 2016 Olympics, had been training for a return to the sport. She competed in the American Classic last month, where she posted an all-around total of 50.65.
However, Douglas struggled during the Core Hydration Classic last weekend and withdrew from the competition. She later revealed that she had been dealing with a back injury.
Douglas's withdrawal from the national championships means that she will not be able to qualify for the 2024 Olympics. However, she has not ruled out the possibility of returning to competition in the future.
Douglas's comeback attempt was an inspiring story, and her withdrawal is a reminder of the challenges that athletes face when they try to return to competition after a long layoff. However, Douglas is a resilient athlete, and she is likely to continue to pursue her goals.
