The 2024 Summer Olympic Games have presented American fans with a new name to love and support, with Gabby Thomas tasting stardom through her gold medal exploits in Paris.
Thomas won three gold medals at the games and is now back home. She’s likely to feature on multiple shows on the back of her time in The City of Life.
The 27-year-old made an appearance on NBC’s popular morning show, ‘Today,’ on Tuesday, wearing all three of her medals, and posted some photos of herself on the program to Instagram, drawing thousands of likes – 68,069 to be precise.
“What a homecoming!!! I remember coming on ‘Today’ right before qualifying for the Olympics- today I got to return with 3 gold medals,” she wrote as the caption. “What a full circle moment. Thank you America for the warm welcome back!!!”

Gabby Thomas Is In Incredible Company
Gabby Thomas is a Harvard graduate with a master’s degree in epidemiology, which explains some of the comments about her intelligence.
She showed her prowess as an athlete in Paris, winning gold in three events, much like compatriots Simone Biles and Torri Huske, coming first in the women’s 200m, 4x100m, and 4x400m relays.
America’s women made the nation proud at the games, winning 67 of the 126 medals awarded to the United States. Gabby certainly did her part.
