Gabby Douglas, the 2012 Olympic champion, has withdrawn from the national championships, ending her bid to make the U.S. team for the Paris Olympics this summer after almost eight years away from competition. Douglas cited an ankle injury as the reason for her withdrawal. Despite her love for gymnastics, she acknowledged that her body's well-being is a top priority and that her comeback as an older athlete presented unique challenges. Douglas, a three-time Olympic gold medalist, aimed to compete but ultimately faced challenges after her long break from the sport.
