Gabby Douglas Fights Comparisons

Gabby Douglas is tired of being compared to Simone Biles.

The Olympic gold medalist recently responded to a TikTok user who claimed people had forgotten about her achievements in gymnastics.

Gabby Douglas hopped into the comments section to express her gratitude and acknowledge the bullying she faces due to comparisons with Biles.

She mentioned that constantly being bullied is tiring and wearing on her.

Douglas played a crucial role in helping the U.S. Women's Gymnastics Team secure gold alongside Biles at the 2016 Rio Olympics.

In 2012, she made history by becoming the first Black gymnast to win an Olympic title.

Douglas also became the first American to claim both all-around and team gold medals at the same event.

After her standout performance in Rio, Douglas took a hiatus that closely resembled retirement.

She announced on May 29 that she would be missing the U.S. Gymnastics Championships due to a foot injury.

Douglas had been anticipated to return for the Paris Olympics this year.

And her fans were eagerly awaiting her comeback.

But the injury prevented her from competing.

So she expressed her sadness and gratitude to fans on Instagram in June.

Gabby Douglas had 3rd grade me CONVINCED I was going to the Olympics when I was in gymnastics, wrote one user.

Another fan commented, I love Gabby Douglas but she took that time off and they replaced her.

**Fans in the comments section shared their reactions noting how they missed and loved seeing Gabby defy gravity with her incredible moves.**

Douglas' career has been marked by notable achievements, including her 2012 London Olympic wins.

She won gold on July 31, 2012, and cemented her name in history books.

As of July 31, the TikTok video had garnered over 200,000 likes.
