On February 27, following Douglas’ absence from Winter Cup due to COVID-19, Olympics.com broke the news that she had left WOGA on Sunday, February 25. On February 28, Douglas took to her Insta story to post: “COVID free and finally on the mend… time to get back to work” – but did not reveal her training location. On March 6, a representative at WME Agency confirmed to Inside Gymnastics that Douglas had resumed training at WOGA stating in an email: “Gabby is still at WOGA! She remains laser focused on doing everything in her power to put herself in the best position for Paris, including exploring every training opportunity that might best suit that mission. Presently, that is at WOGA.” Douglas will have upcoming opportunities to showcase her skills to the National Team staff and pave her path to Paris. The first could come in April at a National Team training camp or in May at the Core Hydration Classic. Per USA Gymnastics: “The High Performance Leadership Team has received requests from several non-national team athletes to attend April National Team Camp. April Camp invitations are based on National Team status, Winter Cup performances, capacity and athlete availability.”
