Olympic gold medalist Gabby Thomas revealed her goals for 2025 in an interview, following her impressive performance at the Paris 2024 Olympics. Thomas won three gold medals in Paris, and marked her stamp as one of the best sprinters in the world.

In an interview with Cosmopolitan magazine, Thomas discussed the things she wants to kick "out" in 2025, and the things she'd like to keep "in" this year. Thomas said:

"Oooh, I like that. My first out: fighting my hair. I’m embracing natural beauty and gonna let it do what it does. Energy drinks are out for me, and this is kind of deep, but just overextending myself. That’s out. Then ins are more racing and having fun with my work. I love competing and I want to be able to do what I love more often. And for the last one, I would say more skincare and general beauty regimen. I want to really take care of myself in that way. I’ve been less focused on that, and 2025 is the year to blossom into everything I want to be."

After a remarkable performance at the Olympics, Gabby Thomas will be looking to build upon her wins at the Grand Slam Track this Friday.
