I'm joined now by Olympic gold medalist, gymnast, Gabby, Douglas Gabby. So good to see you. Thank you for joining the show. Thanks so much for having me. Ok, so I gotta ask you. Um Let's kick it off. I'm just wondering how you're doing as *** performer as *** person where almost one year of quarantine. How have you been holding up? Honestly? Like when you just said that it's honestly like crazy to think about like one year. Like, shouldn't we be like past that now? Honestly? Like it's just insane, but I've been doing well. I'm just taking care of my body, my mental health, my physical health. But other than that, I'm honored and super grateful um for the position I am right in right now today. So no complaints from my end. And let's talk more about what you're up to today. I know you recently partnered with Smoothie King for its new drinks that feature *** Collagen booster. How did this partnership come about? And what can you tell us about these drinks? Well, honestly, I am *** genuine long time Smoothie King fan. Like after every practice, I would go get Smoothie King and it was my go to super easy. And plus now they have *** new line of the organic, whole, whole veggies and fruits stretch of like smoothie and pineapple, kale and tart cherry. And honestly, I've noticed huge benefits with diet and what, what we consume because our body takes that and use that as fuel. They also have type two collagen which repairs skin health and muscle health. And just overall your join your joints are going to feel *** huge difference. They're gonna be so much flexible and limber and you're just gonna feel so well. Overall. Ok, smoothies. Those sound like *** good hack during the pandemic. Have they been *** good hack for you to stay amazing. Yes. And I try to incorporate smoothies every single day with post workout and even when I start my day because they have such amazing benefits with fuel with brain function. And like I said, overall joint health and just the recovery, the muscle recovery is beyond. Ok. Good to know. Um, obviously we've got Olympics ahead of us 2021 the Summer Olympics in Tokyo *** year after they were supposed to happen. And gymnastics, one of the sports that we will see Olympians competing in as someone who's gone through this process. I mean, what, what do you think is going through the minds of some of these athletes right now trying to basically kind of juggle the uncertainty that still exists with the pandemic and then of course, you know, what could be *** peak in their lifetime, honestly, like, it's very heartbreaking and devastating as an athlete because you train so long and so hard for this one thing. And so then when it's canceled, you're like, oh my goodness. So not only did you push your body for those four years, you have to wait another year and then you say, ok, do I go full force and burn myself out or do I kind of go back and then you risk um the potential of being lazy? And so it's really like *** fine line between how do I go about this? But you go about it day by day and really though it's such *** different world because we're used to chalking up being around each other's spaces sharing the same demon bars to now being more aware of. OK, like I have to be careful what I touch and who I'm around. I have to mask up. I have to social, social distance because force is like all in your face. Like it's, you share pretty much everything and now it's like, yeah, the now it's the complete opposite and it's honestly like it's *** huge and like just different world that we live in today. I mean, would you feel comfortable competing in the Olympics in 2021? Let's say you're vaccinated, but there are still strains out there. You know, how would you be making that decision in your own mind as to whether or not you would feel comfortable competing. Honestly, it's, it's very, very tough because as you mentioned, now, the new strands and even with the vaccination, the uh or the COVID can mutate into so many different strands and then there's new strands. And so then you have to keep up with the vaccinations. And honestly, it's very, very tough because um as an athlete, like I said, you're never aware of that and now you have to be even more aware of who I'm around and, and, and different energies. And I'm telling you like, it's definitely not easy because you have to think about not only my performing, but now you have to think about this as well. Right. Right. Yeah, I, I'm, I'm sure it's *** lot of stress uh that some of these athletes are going through. Um I'm sure though, hopefully they can handle it all. Once *** performer, always *** performer, Gabby. I do want to play *** clip from you as cotton candy in the masked dancer. Let's take *** look, cotton candy giving us the joy that we need gay. I love, I love that clip. I love everything about this. What was harder winning the gold medal at the Olympics or dancing with that huge mask on OK, winning the Olympics. But honestly, I just, I had so much fun and we just wanted to make her just so sweet. And so like just light on everybody and just, she just wanted to go out there and have *** good time and I miss her so much. I miss candy. I've never done anything like that before, but yeah, it was just *** huge blast to be on the show. Um, ok. Uh, Gabby, so many questions that I have. We're tight on time. But, uh, because it is Women's History Month. I do want to get your take on advice to young gymnasts out there, specifically women of color. Honestly. Um It's *** tough world and I am not realizing that and you know, coming into adulthood way back when, but even like handling just different things and coming into my own, it's definitely *** tough world, but you can navigate it. And I would say taking care of your physical and, and mental health is key. That's the new, that's the new wealth and I would say never limit your talent or your beliefs uh because of someone else's limited imagination. Like if you have *** passion and heart to do something and go for it 100%. Uh such good advice. Um Gabby, it's so great to have you with us this morning. You enjoy those smoothies. They look delicious Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas. Thanks again.
