Thomas began her campaign at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix in the 300m, where she ran a 35.75s. She was then chosen to compete at the 2024 World Athletics Relays in the Bahamas where she contributed to the USA’s women’s 4x100m and 4x400m relay gold medal performances.

Gabby Thomas then qualified for the Paris Olympics with her exceptional outing at the US Olympic Track and Field Trials in the 200m. At the quadrennial games, she excelled in the women’s 200m and assisted the USA’s 4x100m and 4x400m relay teams, taking home three gold medals. With this, her global popularity reached new heights.

The track star was spotted at the Council of Fashion Designers of America/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards with many renowned personalities such as David Beckham, wife Victoria Beckham, and model Winnie Harlow, among others. Gabby Thomas was in attendance to present the awards, which she later shared on her Instagram account.

Following her participation at the Athlos NYC launched by Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian, Gabby Thomas spoke on the massive turnout for the event. Notably, the event attracted a large number of audience with a packed crowd at Icahn Stadium and 3 million viewers across streaming platforms. Thomas reacted to the huge turnout, stating (0.04 onwards):

“It's a really incredible feeling. It has been a long time coming and it's pretty incredible to see it come to fruition and this is just a great celebration of all the hard work you put in this season. All the work that's been done to support and best of women's sports. This is really showcasing."

She added:

“I think it's really important. I mean it shows what's possible, it shows what we can do, shows how fun it can be to show up and support. Track meets should be about this. They should be about having fun, celebrating what we can do, women showing up to the line, and then just competing, right. This is just such a great event and yeah, I think we can continue. We can do this right. This is something that can continue and we can do it next year and the year after that.”

Thomas came second in the meet with a 22.21s at the inaugural edition of the track meet, behind compatriot Brittany Brown (22.18s).
