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.

Who knows, maybe she would have been humiliated with a low placing.

Yeah blame it on covid, that's the ticket. Well at least she's not a Nikki Hayley, who loses every primary by double digits.

Reading “Covid-19” is triggering.

Why are people still testing for Covid-19?

Seriously. Testing’s pointless. Was from the start.

Why are people still testing for Covid-19?

Because someone in a position of power or authority requires it of them.

Why are such people requiring tests for the Wuhanic Panic?

Because they love the power over others that it gives them.

Why didn’t she get vaccinated? Joe Biden said if you get the shots, you WILL NOT get Covid. Surely the Retard was telling the truth, right?

“after testing positive for Covid-19.”

So she wouldn’t know it unless she was tested? What a joke.

Well, FJB only tells the truth once in a great while, and then only so he can lie his way out of it.

Anyway, Gabby Douglas is 28, which would seem to be practically geriatric in women’s championship gymnastics. Maybe Covid is just an excuse.

That was my first thought. She’s 27 & is probably not going to place.

Born 12-31-95 (I looked it up), so 28 now.

27 y/o in gymnastics is equivalent to a 50 y/o nfl player.......that dog don’t hunt.

Simone Biles is going to be 27 for these Olympics. I wonder if she’ll be hailed as a hero again if she quits on her teammates again?
