She Had a Health Scare Right Before the Olympic Trials
Thomas's dream of making it to the Olympics almost didn't happen this year. According to a report from Team USA, after she won the Golden Games on May 9, Thomas underwent an MRI to further evaluate a hamstring injury, only to have the scan reveal a tumor on her liver. Thankfully, the mass is benign and won't require treatment or surgery, allowing her to go into the Games feeling healthy and strong.
