Gabby Thomas spoke about her outstanding victory at the Paris Olympics and her plans for the upcoming Olympics in LA in an interview with Times Magazine. The American athlete shared that winning multiple gold medals at the Paris Olympics gave her a lot of confidence.

Moreover, Thomas mentioned that she is looking forward to the Los Angeles Olympics as she would be competing in front of the home crowd.

“The gold medals, while they do add pressure, have given me a lot of confidence, have truly showed me what I'm capable of. So, I'm definitely looking forward to the next couple of years. The fact that LA 2028 is in America, in my home country, I just don't think it could be wrapped more beautifully for me," she said.

Furthermore, Thomas expressed that she believes in the process of improving with every track appearance and hopes to put forward her best performance in the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028.
