She upgraded her gold collection to diamonds.
Gabby Thomas, a three-time Olympic gold medalist, has been engaged to current principal Spencer McMan, while preparing for the spring season.
The 28-year-old American Sprinter said she was surprised when her two-year boyfriend, Flower, Thomas' best friend, popped the question on an intimate rooftop proposal that was completed during her couple's Austin's Airbnb stay..
“Usually he's a surprise and very bad. This was a surprise I think I've seen him maintain.” Thomas told Vogue Announce her engagement.
McMans, the founder of the non-alcoholic beverage company Kaviva, wasn't too subtle to the clue hinting at a big moment.
He took his future wife to shop for Valentine's Day, booked it at Thomas' favourite restaurant, and quickly confirmed that his nails were at peak.
Thomas won three gold medals at last year's Parisiolmâch. This is the appearance of the second summer match.
She overturned her first first place finish after dominating the field with a women's 200m sprint with a fiery time of 21.83 seconds.
She was also a member of the gold medal-winning 4×100 and 4×400 metre relay teams.
McMann, a former Yale soccer player, had little knowledge of track and field before he went on a date with Thomas, but he quickly wore a “Team Gabby” shirt.
The couple was found celebrating Thomas' 200 metre victory and hugged tightly before the American flagged runner took a selfie to record the moment.
The couple first began talking in 2021 when a friend of Thomas's suggested McMann as a potential suitor.
Thomas made the first move, where she chased McMans on Instagram, and the two talked about their shared love for pizza.
Despite McMann's Yale and Thomas' Harvard being bitter rivals, seven months of flirty text culminated on multiple dates, and subsequent relationships culminated.
“I fell in love with him despite the fact that he went to Yale,” Thomas told the outlet.
The whirlwind French excursion expanded the pair's relationship and illuminated the extra sparks that exploded into engagement.
“We've grown closer through that,” McManns told the outlet. “Last season solidified our relationship and worked very well as a team through UPS and Down.”
Thomas' 2025 season is scheduled to begin on March 29th at her hometown of Austin Relay, she said Instagram post.
In November, Thomas signed with a brand new Racing League Grand Slam Track and will compete in several competitions starting at Jaunt Down in Kingston, Jamaica on April 4th.
She will also run events in Miami, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and Oregon.
Thomas finishes her heavy schedule at Icahn Stadium in New York for the women-only Aslos NYC in October.
