Gabby Douglas Has No Clue Where Her Olympic Gold Medals Are — But Knows They Are ‘Safe’
Us Weekly2 days agoGabby Douglas made history as the first Black gymnast to win an Olympic all-around gymnastics title — but she currently has no clue where her three gold medals are located. “They are not displayed. I don’t know where they are,” Douglas, 28, exclusively admitted to Us Weekly on Wednesday, July 17, while chatting about her partnership with Ancestry. “I think my mom has them.” While the athlete is uncertain that her medals are currently in her mother Natalie Hawkins’ possession, she does believe “they’re somewhere safe.” Douglas made her Olympics debut at the 2012 Summer Games in London, scoring an individual and team gold in the all-around and team competitions. She returned for the 2016 Rio Games, where the U.S. women’s gymnastics team once again won gold in the group competition. Though Douglas did not place in the all-around competition, her teammates Simone Biles and Aly Raisman walked away with gold and silver medals, respectively. Olympic Athletes: Where Are They Now? Douglas told Us that despite her historic wins, she doesn’t bring out her medals very often. “They’re so fragile. They fray,” she explained. “You have a lot of oils on your hands, and it rubs off. So, I just like to keep them in the box.” Us Weekly After skipping the 2020 Tokyo Games, Douglas returned to gymnastics earlier this year in hopes of making the 2024 Olympics team . However, she withdrew her bid ahead of the Olympic trials after suffering an ankle injury in May during the U.S. gymnastics championships in Texas. “It’s feeling better,” Douglas told Us of her recovery. “[It’s] still not a hundred percent, but it’ll get there. I am back in the gym, just keeping in shape, doing a little bit here and there, not to be completely out of shape.” Douglas went on to note that the hardest part of the Olympics journey is “making the team,” explaining, “Once you're on the team, it's solidified. So, you're like, ‘OK, I can just go out there and represent USA. But before that, it's a lot of work. It's stressful. You have to do the lineups and you have to go through processing. But once you get over all that, it becomes very fun once you start competing.” Get to Know the 2024 U.S. Women’s Olympic Gymnastics Team: Simone Biles and More Gymnastics is something Douglas recently discovered runs in her blood through her partnership with Ancestry. She teamed up with the genealogy company to see if her elite athleticism is a result of “training or DNA.” According to Douglas, “It’s a little bit of both.” She revealed: “Four generations from my mom's side — great, great, great, like, grandfather — he was a porter for a gymnastics club. And it was like a hundred years later, I won the Olympics and it was just crazy. And so, being able to see, like, natural flexibility, strength and all the traits that I have, it makes sense to why these things come natural. So, like I said, it was very cool to see.” Laurence Griffiths/Getty Images Gabrielle Douglas.

- 1:41Track Star Trey Cunningham Comes Out: ‘Apparently It’s a Special Thing That I Like to Kiss Guys’Us WeeklyTrack and field star Trey Cunningham has come out as gay — he just doesn’t really see what all the fuss is about. Cunningham, a five-time All American hurdler at Florida State and a silver medalist at the 2022 World Championships, exclusively told Us Weekly why he’s not expecting a parade after making his announcement. “I’ve grown up in a time where people just don’t care anymore,” Cunningham, 25, said. “I feel like I was on the cusp of that change, just a little bit. Especially my latter years of college, I’ve realized people just don’t care.” He continued, “I’m just Trey and apparently it’s a special thing that I like to kiss guys.” Sophia Bush, Kesha, Noah Cyrus and More Stars Celebrate Pride 2024: See the Photos While Cunningham doesn’t expect much to change in his day-to-day life, he does hope his coming out “helps push the needle forward that it’s OK. This is normal.” Trey Cunningham Steph Chambers/Getty Images Cunningham — who made the 110m finals at the U.S. Olympic Trials last month, narrowly missing his first Olympic team — began thinking about his sexuality while coming of age in Alabama. “In high school, I felt like I was weird,” he said. “I didn’t like people. I wasn’t going after anyone in particular. Toward the end of senior year and then moving to freshman year of college, I was like, ‘Oh, I can explore this side of me.’ It turned out it was more men coming up than women. And now, all men.” Along the way, Cunningham credited a conversation he had with a track coach at Florida State during his freshman year, which he called “one of the best things that happened to me.” “We talked about a few things we can do physically,” he recalled. “You can fix your foot, you can do all these things. And the last thing was, ‘I need you to be totally 100 percent comfortable with who you are because there’s no one out there on the track to help you. It’s you in between those two lines and those 10 hurdles. If you’re not comfortable, you can’t really fly.’” Cunningham said that heart-to-heart “started this whole journey of me being uncomfortable enough to be comfortable with who I was.” At the point of that conversation in 2019, Cunningham hadn’t told the majority of the people in his life about his secret. By the end of 2020, he had told his entire family. Celebrity Coming Out Stories: Raven-Symone, Dan Levy and More “I don’t think anybody’s surprised,” he joked. “I mean, my favorite Power Ranger was the pink Power Ranger.” Trey Cunningham Steph Chambers/Getty Images Now, he’s opened himself up to the entire world. While Cunningham acknowledged his story might receive some pushback, he’s not really worried about what things look like in the rearview mirror. “There’s going to be pockets of places where they don’t tolerate it and they might not champion it, or there might be punishment for it,” Cunningham said. “I think that goes for anything outside of the norm around the world. But for the most part, the students don’t really care as much. They’re just like, ‘OK, cool.’”2 weeks ago
