Gabby Thomas, the Olympic sprint sensation who stole hearts and snagged medals at the Paris 2024 Games, is showing no signs of slowing down.
Even after a stellar start to her 2025 season, she’s not one to rest on her laurels. Instead, Gabby is diving deep into every race, studying what worked, what didn’t, and where she can push herself even further.
“It really feels like everything is just coming together,” she recently shared in an interview with Marie Claire.
Lessons from Paris
At the Paris Olympics, Gabby was nothing short of electric, grabbing gold in the 4x100m relay and a bronze in the 200m. But beyond the podium finishes, it was the experience itself that shaped her future game plan.
“Of everything I’ve learned up to this point after Paris, I am definitely very proud of myself,” she admitted.
“In Paris, I saw what worked, what didn’t work, and there’s still room to grow,” she said.
For Gabby, every hiccup, every misstep, isn’t a setback, it’s fuel.
“I’m excited to continue my legacy and learn about myself because it’s just a process.”
With her sights now firmly set on the LA 2028 Olympics, Gabby Thomas is rewriting her training and recovery strategy.
“I’m focusing on my longevity,” she explained.
“I’m definitely prioritizing recovery and mental resilience just as much as my actual speed and strength,” Gabby Thomas shared.
Secret Recovery Chamber That Keeps Her Going
Gabby Thomas stays race-ready and resilient through the relentless demands of elite sprinting through her secret weapon, a hyperbaric chamber.
“My hyperbaric chamber. I am obsessed with it, and it is definitely the most expensive piece of my wellness routine,” Gabby revealed with a grin.
The hyperbaric chamber, essentially a pressurized pod designed to boost oxygen absorption and accelerate recovery, has become a vital part of Gabby’s wellness playbook.
“I’m just so big on recovery [and] feeling well rested,” she emphasized.
She uses it daily and makes it a non-negotiable before those high-stakes championship races.
“It’s my go-to ritual the night before, especially during those grueling rounds,” she explained.
The Legacy She’s Building
As Gabby Thomas continues to evolve as an athlete and person, she’s not just chasing medals, she’s chasing growth.
“I’m excited about the journey and what’s ahead,” she said.
With the next Olympics inching closer, and a smart, balanced approach guiding her every step, Gabby Thomas is just getting started.
