Three-time Olympic Champion Resumes Training at Former Gym

Douglas Left WOGA in 2015, Trained Elsewhere Since

Three-time Olympic gymnastics champion Gabby Douglas has made a significant decision in her training regimen, choosing to return to the World Olympic Gymnastics Academy (WOGA) after leaving the gym in 2015. Douglas's return to WOGA is a captivating development, given her success at the London 2012 Olympics and her pursuit of a possible return to the Olympic stage in 2024.

Douglas left WOGA after the 2015 World Championships, seeking a change in environment. She has trained at various gyms since then, including Buckeye Gymnastics in Ohio and Chow's Gymnastics and Dance Institute in California. However, Douglas's decision to return to WOGA suggests a renewed belief in the gym's training system and coaching staff.

WOGA has a long history of producing Olympic gymnasts, including Douglas and two-time Olympic all-around champion Laurie Hernandez. Head coach Valeri Liukin, husband of 2008 Olympic all-around champion Nastia Liukin, is known for his demanding and rigorous training regimen.

Douglas's return to WOGA could significantly impact her aspirations for the 2024 Olympics in Paris. The gymnast has expressed her desire to return to the Olympic stage and compete for a fourth medal. Training at WOGA under Liukin's guidance could provide her with the support and training necessary to achieve her goals.

The gymnastics community will eagerly monitor Douglas's progress at WOGA. Her decision to return to the gym where she achieved her greatest successes is a testament to her determination and unwavering pursuit of excellence.
