VIDEO EXCLUSIVE: U.S. Olympic Runner Gabby Thomas Recalls Her Injury Recovery

Olympic runner Gabby Thomas took the time to recall the period when she recovered from a hamstring injury that she suffered at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The injury sidelined Thomas from competing in the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships last year.

“In 2023, I came back from that injury and had my best season to date,” the track star told uSports exclusive in May. “In that time, I’ve grown so much and I’ve become so resilient.” Thomas added that she “feels very fit and confident” looking forward to qualifiers at the 2024 games. “I’ve gone through so much as an athlete since then. I’m a different athlete.”

Thomas won a bronze medal in the 200 m and a silver as part of the women’s 4×100 m relay at the 2020 Olympics. With a time of 21.81 seconds, Thomas earned a silver medal at the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest.

The Northampton, Massachusetts, native attended Harvard University, where she won 22 conference titles in six different events in three years of competition. Thomas set Ivy League records in the 100 meters, 200 meters and indoor 60 meters.

In the 2020 Olympic final, the track star won a bronze medal after running for 21.87 seconds, behind Christine Mboma and Elaine Thompson-Herah. Thomas became New Balance’s first female sprinter after signing an endorsement deal with the company in 2018.
