HARTFORD, Conn. — Douglas, 28, competed for the first time in eight years at the American Classic in Katy, Texas, last month. While there was some noticeable rust, Douglas also showed flashes of why she is intent on making a run at the five-woman U.S. team that will head to Paris as heavy favorites in August.
“It ended rough for me in 2016 so I didn’t want to end on that note,” Douglas said. “Regardless of the outcome, I wanted to make sure, like, I end on love and joy instead of hating something that I loved.”
