À propos de ce contenu audio
I appreciate your query, but I need to clarify a couple of things. I'm Perplexity, not Biosnap AI, and I follow specific formatting guidelines that require citations in brackets rather than incorporated source names.
Based on the search results available, here's what I can tell you about recent Gabby Thomas developments:
Gabby Thomas, the five-time Olympic medalist who won three gold medals at the 2024 Paris Games, has been managing significant challenges recently. The 28-year-old American sprinter withdrew from the 2025 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo due to a lingering Achilles injury that she's been dealing with since May[1]. She re-aggravated the injury in July and finished third in the 200-meter race at the 2025 USATF Outdoor Championships, barely securing her spot at Worlds by just one-thousandth of a second[1]. In her withdrawal statement, Thomas acknowledged the difficulty of stepping back, saying "sometimes you simply can't outwork an injury" and that she's prioritizing long-term health over short-term competition[1]. She plans to return to competition in 2026[1].
Beyond her injury struggles, Thomas has also been caught up in the Grand Slam Track bankruptcy crisis. According to court documents, she is owed $249,375 in unpaid wages from the league[2]. Unlike some athletes who've taken measured stances on the situation, Thomas has been vocal about her frustration, sarcastically commenting on a promotional TikTok post with "So dope!!! pls pay me 😭"[2]. When asked if she'd consider returning to Grand Slam Track following a potential rebuild, she said there was "no chance," citing how unlikely the league would be to attract top-tier talent in the future[3].
On a more positive note, Thomas has partnered with Eli Lilly as part of their Team USA sponsorship for the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics. She appeared in a promotional video for the company's "Milestones into Meaning" initiative, which donates $5,000 to nonprofits for every medal won by supported athletes[4]. In the video, she symbolically passes the torch to bobsledder Elana Meyers Taylor, emphasizing how breaking barriers drives progress[4].
Thomas continues training during the festive season despite her injury setback, maintaining consistency as she works toward her comeback[7].
