Gabby Thomas hits back on being trolled amid latest collaboration

Gabby Thomas slammed a fan for trolling her recent collaboration with Cava, a restaurant chain. The athlete is currently gearing up for the 2025 track season.

Thomas had a successful run in the 2024 season as she delivered staunch performances at the Paris Olympics and won a total of three gold medals. She won her first gold in the 200m dash, where she recorded 21.83s and bested Julien Alfred and Brittany Brown, who earned second and third positions, respectively. After this, she won her second gold in the 4x100m relay race, where she and her team clocked 41.78s and defeated Great Britain and Germany, who recorded 41.85s and 41.97s, respectively.

Thomas won her third gold medal in the 4x400m relay, where she and her team posted a time of 3:15.27. Now, the athlete is in her off-season and is training for her upcoming season. Amid this, she recently announced her collaboration with Cava, a chain of restaurants that provides Mediterranean foods.

Following this announcement, Thomas was criticized by a fan who compared her smiling pictures to funny White Women memes and wrote on X:

"Gabby looks like a WW eating salad in every pic."

The Olympic athlete took a hit on this user and voiced her disappointment, saying:

"??? can bw do anything without being criticized," wrote Gabby Thomas.

Gabby Thomas was recently also signed for Michael Johnson's Grand Slam Track, which will be executed in the 2025 track season.
