In July 2023, Olympic Gold Medalist Gabby Douglas officially announced she was back in the gym, after rumors of a possible elite return had been circulating online for months. The American gymnast is expected to make a return to competition in 2024, after a 7-year break. There aren’t many updates on her comeback status at this point but here are a few skills we know the Olympic Champion is working on…

The Olympics are going to be really exciting, but trials and everything leading up to it is going to be nuts!
Yes the trials will be do or die because almost every best gymnast in the country will be eyeing that 5 person spot😅honestly i can't wait for the showdown
her E pirouettes make me emotional my god just perfect
Makes me miss He Kexin and Yang Yilin 🥹🥹🥹
If Chellsie Memmel can come back to show that it can be done, so can Gabby. Im here for gymnasts doing the sport they love into adulthood as long as they are in good health. Looking forward to seeing our gold medalist back in action!
I was really skeptical about her come back as she haven't been seen for a few years but after watching this video I'm excited to see her back
This completely blows out of the water the old arguments given for why women quit gymnastics when they hit puberty. "Their bodies change too much!" "They start gaining weight!" "Puberty ruins them!" And it turns out that, as we've seen from Simone Biles and Oksana Chusovitina, you can indeed be a brilliant female gymnast and an actual ADULT. Puberty never ruined them as athletes. It just ruined them in the eyes of creeps like Larry Nassar and the rest of the monsters who threw them on the scrap heap the minute they grew up to get access to fresh meat.
I cannot wait to see how many other brilliant women come back, inspired by Biles and Chusovitina, and show the world the greatness they still have within them.
You are correct, and if I may add this comment; at one time not so many decades ago, the women in gymnastics were well into their 20's and competing.
Biles and Douglas in one Olympic season?!?!? This will be gymnastics joy overload and I can’t wait!
Toss a healthy Suni into the mix as well! ❤
@@likeisaidjenkins3689plus suni hasn’t had a really bad day in a while thankfully, from her words!🙏🏼🥰
Honestly? If she can hit those handstands on bars and have enough difficulty it’s going to be epic! ❤ her handstands I these videos are amazing. Could you imagine a TF lineup on bars of Gabby, Suni and Shilese? ❤
Edited to add: I really love how her UB routines always look a bit different from everyone else’s! ❤
I fully agree! If she can get a 6.2-6.4 level bar routine, she'd have a great chance at uneven bar finals if she makes the team. I feel like they would take her if she's able to hit a solid bar routine in general. The US could still use some bar workers and she's great at beam too. Her pirouettes look even better than they did years ago so I'm definitely excited for her! 😆
Even if it's Gabby OR Suni, Shilese, Simone, that's still epic af lol. Simone was top 5 on bars in 2023
@@murasakino101I think beam is the more important event for her. The American team is really strong on bars. They could really use another high scoring consistent beam routine for TF.
@@Appaddict01 Yes, beam is where the US could do with another good routine and floor as well.
@@Appaddict01 there are a lot of bar workers this quad so you're, but I feel like they could still use at least one that can put up a huge score since we don't know if Suni will be able to return or not. Beam definitely is a game changer and Gabby has been pretty solid on it in the past so they could use her there unless they take Skye
Her gymnastics looks so beautiful! Love these handstands and split positions! Not many gymnasts can do it like this!
I'm looking forward to Gabby's comeback as much as I am pretty much anything else in 2024. Despite all her success, she's still wildly underrated by some folks in the gymnastics community. Hoping she gets another big moment to shine.
THE COMEBACK IM MOST EXCITED FOR! 🥇🇺🇸 Personally, I hope she brings back her stalder work she does on the low bar (very reminiscent of Amy Chow circa ‘96 & ‘00). I hope to see her at US Championships this year!
Yassssss! Gabby was the first gymnast I really watched during the Olympics and she got me obsessed with the sport! She is looking so good and I absolutely believe she has a serious shot at making the team, but it's gonna be a BLOODBATH this year. This has got to be the hardest Olympic trials we have had in gymnastics, right? The list of mega talented athletes just goes on and on!
Oh and we are clearly meant to be friends, cause we have lots in common (I dropped by your channel lolz)
I cannot wait to see Gabby compete this year! I'm sure her routines will have a nice mature flow to them, which will come from her experience!
London was the first Olympics I watched, so Gabby was the first Olympic AA champion I saw win! Even if she's not an AA champion, I hope she still wins lots of medals, regardless the color! But mostly I hope she has a great comeback and enjoys herself!
Gabby is a BEAST on pretty much ALL events. LOVE her! Those HANDSTANDS on uneven???? CRAZY good!!!! I am the MOST excited to see HER perform after all this time. CAN'T WAIT!🥰🥰🥰
Goooo Gabby! Love love love that you're coming back! Wishing you the best! Shine in girl! ❤
It makes me happy to see these athletes staying in elite sports as adults. The teenage waifs of previous years were definitely skilled, but there was a lot going on which wasn’t good for them.
Simone, Gabby, Trinity, Jordan... I love seeing all these amazing strong Black athletes take center stage in WAG. This is the representation we need.
Shilese.
shilese over jordan
I agree. But technically, Shilese Jones is the better choice over Jordan Chiles right now. Shilese is a back to back world all-around medalist. At the most recent US National Championships, she outscored Jordan in the all-around, uneven bars, and floor exercise. The only event where Jordan is superior is vault, and that's only by a small margin.
NOT JORDAN! NEVER!
Finally a one arm piroutte done by gymnast other than the chinese.
For real!
If everyone can prepare and be healthy, having a potential trials/Olympic team lineup of Simone, Suni and Gabby would be absolutely historic - 3 AA champs on one team? Are you kidding me? I would scream lol.
Excited to see her back - she is so graceful!
Yoo she looks like she has been in the gym training for years, unbelievable
God Bless Gabby 🙏
Wow! Beautiful skills. Go Gabby!!
I love the thrills that I am feeling knowing that my gymnast is back and better than before.
Gabby is so underrated! I love her gymnastics so much, and in all of these clips her execution is sooooo good
Gabby has always been one of my favorites! She moves with such grace and style!
I’m excited for gabby to come back so happy ❤😂
Fantastic work for Gabby Douglas is returning for Paris 2024.
Whewwww Trials gone be crazy!! And the muscles 💪🏾 like she came back in top shape!
Go Gabby! ❤
Go Gabby! Go!
Gabby's stalder work is top notch, so I'd love to see her bring back the Chow 1/2.
I've always loved her Tkatchev
The highest ones that have ever been perfomed imo
She looks awesome! Would be cool if she eventually upgraded the Memmel to a Mustafina, she could get there! 😍
You never know!
We also know that i camo she is traning a downie to pak combo, and on floor she is working on the front full step out that everyone seems to be doing
she needs to bring back her Amanar Vault.
Gabby will always be my baby
Great Form
Gabby is coming for the AA. I gotta get a ticket to Olympic trials
Just give her the medal already. So clean and polished while still training. Her break did her some good.
Ironically, she’s never earned an EF medal. Maybe that’s part of the reason for her comeback?
I think, she’s going to make the team.
only if she hits the routine
it makes me so happy that the age pool for women's gymnastics is increasing. i truly think it's the embrace of muscle and power, which peaks in your mid 20's to mid 30's, over pure thinness, which caused immense shame and fear regarding puberty for female competitors (like you see in figure skating). now for artistic gymnastics you require the growth of puberty to reach these levels.
3-Time Olympian? I thought she went to two Olympics. I LOVE LOVE her handstand positions on bars and her overall inverted giant work that people don't seem to be doing as much of these days.
3-time Olympic Medalist***
@@gymnasticsmasterclass ahhh gotcha. Thanks. I heard Olympian in my mind for some reason, weird, ha!
If she hits those handstands... Money! Glad to see she's working on perfecting her skills, this code rewards so much for execution. If she shows that she has a big chance, floor is her weakest event, she doesn't have huge tumbling but she can do the dance elements and can really explore the artistry and facial expressions, it I'll be beautiful!
I didn't think you could link two of the same skill together for any bonus. Two Healy's in a row shouldn't be worth anything (unless I'm mistaken). Is it possible that she's actually linking a Healy to a Ling, which would count as a different skill?
Yes that is correct it is a Healy + Ling ! Which is fire!!
Gabby❤Gabby❤Gabby❤Gabby🏆
I hope she can make it to trials
Her "new" staldter full is beautiful.
Douglas = USA GOLD !
If she can put up a consistent beam routine that can reach 14's and put up a mid to high 14's on bars then she'd make a reaaallly good case for herself
The US is currently strong on bars but where they could do with more help is on vault and beam. I feel that USAG need to assemble a team that will give the ladies its usual advantage after the first rotation (vault) something they did not have at last year's WC nor in Tokyo. Having a lead after vault sets the tone for the rest of the meet I feel and so I would like to see Gabby return with an AMANAR more than anything to really give herself the advantage over just about everyone else other than Simone because THIS team is going to be the HARDEST team to make as there are sooo many who see it as their LAST CHANCE or THE CHANCE.
For sure an amanar would definitely help her case, but we're gonna have to wait and see. Plus a lot of US gymnasts seem to be training Chengs coming into this year, so that comes into play as well. Her usually solid DTY would be the minimum, and would still be pretty useful for USAG
@@gmoz5215 Just about any routine that she can realistically put together will be USEFUL but I don't think being 'useful' will be enough. As I said, this team is going to be the HARDEST because their are so many of WAGS see this OLYMPICS as 'THE ONE' for various reasons. Gabby needs to give herself an EDGE somewhere. If she brings back her Amanar along with her bars and beam then she will have given herself that irrespective of who is training Cheng as she would be making strong contributions on at least THREE apparatuses as oppose to two which again is what I think she needs to do to make the strongest case for herself.
@@aliciamcdonald7105 Gabrielle and her coaches will give her the vaults that suit her body type & skill level. They will choose skills, which give her the highest points. She has to do what she can handle and what suits her level of execution. I'm content to let Gabrielle handle her comeback. She doesn't need my technical input.
@@aliciamcdonald7105 Let Gabrielle LIVE! Stop yaking about what she needs to do. She's the 3-time Olympic champion--you are not. None of us are. We haven't made the sacrifices. You have no idea what will happen at any event. We don't know who will scratch, who wont be able to contend, what kind of mistakes the other competitors will make, who can handle the pressure or how the judges will grade? So many things go into a good event. Gabrielle just needs to get consistent; be mentally strong & focused; do the skills which work best for her and, block out what everyone is saying & doing. May God's blessing be upon her!
Hoping she can redeem herself and medal in bars at the Olympics
With Kaylia, several Chinese athletes, possibly Suni, possibly Nina Derwael… and many others she’s going to really have to up her difficulty to do that.
@@saragrant9749 what Gabby lacks in difficulty, she makes up in execution. She could 100% medal with a 6.4+ routine.
@@Matthew-jh6ohfully agree. Shilese has a 6.4 start value if I'm not mistaken and she was able to medal due to how good her form and handstands are so it's definitely possible
@@Matthew-jh6ohyes gabby is better than all of these athletes in execution, since she used to score in the same level of mustafina, but the max she could get is 8.7/8.8. no one these days get close to 9.0, the only 8.8 we did see was rebeca back in 2021. the judges are really really harsh and taking deductions even when they should not take. i am still looking for 1.6 in deductions for qiu’s ub routine last year
Cap! When has she ever grabbed a medal on bars at a strong international event like worlds or an olympics? > But suddenly after all these years you thinks she has a LEGIT chance when you haven't seen one f'n bars routine from her is the ultimate cope! Just like Chellsie Memmel was totally goin to make the 2020 Olympic team right! Gurl bye! We will wait and see! @@Matthew-jh6oh
Healy Ling ❤❤❤❤ this is impressive. Everything .
Good lord she looks even better
The gymnast community must excecize safety and must be safe conscious, and professional, handling of our gifted daughters, and we are Watching you and your doctors.
I'd love to see Gabby back in competition. But I wonder if that's all rumor and hype. And she's just simply back in the gym training because she loves to do it
the gabby ism *chow ism technically* I hope she re alives is the return of her arms overhead after skills on beam
it worked so well for her visually, and leveled her aesthetics up x3 at least compared to when she finishes arms down
it looks so much more decisive and beautiful
Gabby Douglas needed an eight year break because of the Michigan State MadMan
I’d rather see someone new on the team. Their window is short too. She’s had her moment and her medals.
Fav
So many don't know when to quit.
The top of the heap is never reached by being a timid milquetoast. Your attitude of quitting the sport early and, running away from competition in fear, says everything about your competitive mettle.
Shhz Back!
That's my baby
I honestly feel that her best chance is to go back to Chow. He made her an Olympic champion and paced her well. He could make her successful again, he clearly knew what he was doing.
I think he’s now the National Team coach for China.
Bring back the Amanar!
her Healy + Ling combo is *CHEF'S KISS*
Her amanar
Gabrielle could stand to add another turn to that Memmel turn to make it more aesthetically pleasing. Everyone knows she is gorgeous and strong on ub. But Queen Gabrielle needs to IMPROVE on the fx and loose the sad demeanor. Hope woga gives her better fx choreography. Gabby must remember to smile and show her star personality.
Essa pirueta na trave é um absurdo de linda, seja muito bem vinda de volta Gabby
My biggest suggestion on P Bars is after the staulter (sp?) instead of doing a pirouette, make it a release pirouette. Same body position. Same vertical position in the air. See Shannon Miller perform it in the 92 Olympics and maybe the 96 Olympics as well. What happened to her was that she performed the staulter and release pirouette beautifully… and then added a regular pirouette immediately after. It slowed down her momentum. She would have been better served if she did the staulter and TWO release pirouettes. Gabby can do this… and she could beat “someone else”… and don’t underestimate doing a release move like a tchotchev (Sp?) on the low bar. Judges eat that up! Just ask Amy Chow! Nearly everyone goes to the low bar and back up to the high bar. Judges love it when a gymnast does something of substance on the low bar. I’m looking forward to your progress and comeback, Gabby!
The hop full ?? No one does those anymore eh ? So hard ! Was it not called the Miller ? ❤❤
Is their a difference between the Healy and the ling?
Gabby hopefully will do a double arabian with the stag jump on FX as a tumbiling skill :D
See thaa'
Ngl I kinda love that the quality of gymnastics in the new generations has become so low that even the oldies can come back 🙈 no offense
The aminar
Giving to much information!
How can those kinds of muscles be natural on a woman?
U should watch women body builders instead.
Oh dear. Do keep up.
We all have muscles. Gabby is an elite athlete. Any elite athlete that spends 25-30+ hours in the gym, the pool, the weight room, cardio, etc. may have a different athletic build than us non-elite athletes.
Gabby wasn’t born with those elite athlete muscles, but she damn well worked hard to get them.
I don’t know if you meant your comment as a compliment or an insult, but we shouldn’t be talking about any athlete’s physical look in the first place.
What a weird comment.
@@erinjohnson1124 More like an ignorant, as(s)inine and insipid comment.
At least Gabby will fight for Gold and not blame twisties or whatever lame excuse Biles had for deserting her team. To quit and us lose to Russia (they're better as a team TBH) is just unforgivable. Gabby would never. She beat Russia twice.
it's 2024, you can move on from that
@@abigailr1460 that was in 2021 ya bish. Olympics are FORVER. the glory, the history. It ain't just forgotten. You must be like 11.
Jesus Christ, you people who have done precisely nothing in life, blaming an athlete for having some off days, lol.
Work on your impotence or whatever your real issue is. 😂
@@brandonaldaymachuse6669 the glory isn't yours, considering you didn't win any medals. no need to get so worked up.
@@abigailr1460 its not yours either. Are you dumb? Thats the stupidest argument rebuttle ever. Look it up.
Much too old and has ZERO realistic chance of making any Olympic or world team.
Her time was over years ago!
You know damn will you don't believe that.
@@Smielyb2000 You know nothing about gymnastics and absolutely nothing about me. You're delusional if you think that overrated snot has a prayer of returning to international competition!
@genlyal5055 Your time is over. Maybe your fave's time is also over? Queen Gabrielle's reign has just begun. She is the Khaleesi of women's artistic gymnastics. The emphasis is on WOMAN. The era of little girls dominating artistic gymnastics for 1 Olympic cycle then disappearing is over. A talented, girl can start young & continue into her adult years. Elite careers are lasting longer. The college gymastic scene is popular too. Simone is aged 26, Shilese is age 21, Jordan is age 23, Jade will be 24 and Sunni is age 21. Internationally adult women are everywhere in the competitive sport. And, yes they are winning medals, earning sponsorships & top rankings! Vanessa Ferrari, age 33; Rebecca Downey, age 33; Rebecca Andrade, age 25; Jade Barbosa, age 32, Sanne & Lieke Wevers both twins at age 32, Eythora Thorsdottir, age 25 etc., etc. there are many others I won't name. But of special mention is Oksana Chusovitna, who at age 48 is still performing elite level gymnastics and is winning medals. Your opinion as to who is "too old" can be placed in the trash, where such rubbish thinking belongs. Women's artistic gymnasts have proven you wrong time & time again. There's no such thing as "too old." Some gymnasts are evergreen. Let the women reign!
