Ahead of the next few days’ relay events, Gabby Thomas hops on the phone with Vogue to discuss what was going through her head during Tuesday’s race, a bit about her volunteer work in health care, and getting a surprise call from Snoop Dogg.
On the second Tuesday of the 2024 Olympic Games, American runner Gabrielle “Gabby” Thomas became a maiden gold-medal winner with a decisive victory in the women’s 200m sprint. She held off St Lucia’s Julien Alfred – who had won the 100m final a few days earlier – and another American, Brittany Brown, who finished third. To those in Paris’s Stade de France and to the millions more watching on livestreams, there was a magnetism in Thomas’s stage and screen presence.
I can’t even remember what I was thinking or where I was in the race until the last few metres of it! So it was really just letting my body do what I had trained and prepared it to do. Since last night, have you had any memorable fan reactions? Or any surprise DMs? My favourite was Snoop Dogg calling me right after. I was going into anti-doping, and he called to congratulate me and tell me how happy he was for me! That was really exciting and funny. We love how much of an Olympics fan he is.
