While Gabby Douglas won't be taking part in the 2024 Paris Olympics, she shared some perspective with Newsweek ahead of the main event.
Injuries are one of the unfortunate equalizers in the world of sports. Whether you're a world-class star or a newcomer trying to prove your worth, you're reliant on your body. Good luck can set the stage for success; a bad break could change things for the worse.Ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics, Gabby Douglas, 28, found herself on the wrong side of the ledger.
'It's bittersweet, but I am, I've been super grateful to have the career that I've had and also to kind of move on from this and, like I said, continue my gymnastics career and even do more things that I didn't do in my previous era,' she continued.And, just like absence makes the heart grow fonder, there's no better way to fire up an athlete than forcing them to sit on the sidelines.'Oh yeah, that definitely motivates me, like very quickly,' Douglas added.
