McKayla Maroney is back in action.

On Tuesday, the former Olympian reactivated her Instagram account after a two-year absence, according to Yahoo, and posted two messages on her Twitter feed.

“Hold on tightly to what ur grateful for,” Maroney tweeted to her followers. The 23-year-old also posted a photo of herself posing in purple shorts, writing: “Caring less, doing more.”

The gold medalist also appeared in an Instagram story, in which she claimed her pal “forced” her to go back on social media.

Maroney appears focused on her future since coming forward about her #MeToo experience in 2017, in which she said disgraced former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar had sexually abused her.

“I was molested by Dr. Larry Nassar, the team doctor for the US Women’s National Gymnastics Team and Olympic Team,” Maroney said in a statement at the time.

“It seemed whenever and wherever this man could find the chance, I was ‘treated.’ It happened in London before my team and I won the gold medal, and it happened before I won my Silver,” she also stated.

Maroney also filed a suit in 2017, alleging USA Gymnastics tried to silence her for over a year.

Nassar was sentenced to over 100 years in prison for his sex crimes.
