Gabby Douglas has been away from gymnastics training for nearly one year now, her longest break since she took up the sport at age 6.
The 2012 Olympic all-around champion has not retired, but unlike Final Five teammates Simone Biles, Aly Raisman and Laurie Hernandez, has no set plan to return to the gym. Yet.
“We’ll see. I mean, right now, it’s up in the air,” Douglas said while promoting Post-it’s “Make it Stick” back-to-school initiative on Wednesday. “I’m enjoying the time off.”
At this time in the last Olympic cycle, Douglas had already returned to coach Liang Chow‘s gym in West Des Moines, Iowa, for two months.
