Three-time Olympic champion Gabby Douglas has ended her bid to represent Team USA in Paris this summer after withdrawing from this week’s Xfinity US Gymnastics Championships in Texas. The 28-year-old withdrew after suffering an ankle injury while training for the event, ESPN reported Wednesday. A representative for Douglas confirmed that report. In an interview with ESPN, Douglas said despite the setback, she wasn’t planning on giving up on a future Summer Games run. “I proved to myself and to the sport that my skills remain at an elite level,” Douglas said, according to ESPN. “My plan is to continue to train for the LA 2028 Olympics. It would be such an honor to represent the US at a home Olympics,” she added. After a nearly eight-year hiatus from competition, Douglas returned to the sport last month at the American Classic event in Katy, Texas.
