Three-time Olympic champion Gabby Douglas’ return to competitive gymnastics – originally set for this weekend – will have to wait, after the American tested positive for Covid-19.

Douglas last competed almost eight years ago at the Rio Olympics, but announced her intention to return to the sport in an Instagram post last year

She was due to make her much-anticipated return in this weekend’s Winter Cup in Kentucky, but announced on social media that she had to pull out after testing positive for Covid-19.

“I’m so sad to say that I won’t be competing this weekend,” she wrote on Instagram Thursday, wishing her fellow competitors good luck.

“I was so excited to get back out on the competition floor, but unfortunately, I just tested positive for Covid.
