Gabby Douglas Seeks to Rebound From Her Olympic Stardom

SAN JOSE, Calif. — To start her final push to the Rio Olympics, Gabby Douglas — the defending Olympic gymnastics champion in the all-around — will pack her bags and head to the Sam Houston National Forest, about 65 miles north of Houston, for a nine-day boot camp.

O.K., it’s technically not a boot camp. On paper, it’s actually an official pre-Olympics training camp at Martha and Bela Karolyi’s ranch, a gymnastics enclave reached by gravel-and-dirt roads in the middle of the woods, and it’s for the five women and three alternates who will head to Brazil in a few weeks.
