USA Gymnastics
United States of America Gymnastics (USA Gymnastics or USAG) is the national governing body for gymnastics in the United States. It sets the domestic rules and policies that govern the sport, promotes and develops gymnastics on the grassroots and national levels, and serves as a resource center for members, clubs, fans and gymnasts. It selects and trains the U.S. national teams for the Olympic Games and World Championships.
Established in 1963 as the U.S. Gymnastics Federation (USGF), it received its current name in 1993. The programs governed by USAG are:
The Women's Artistic program holds multiple annual nationally televised competitions.
USAG was at the center of the largest sexual abuse scandal in sports history. Hundreds of young athletes were sexually abused over the span of two decades by coaches, gyms, and other elements overseen by USAG. The abuse was revealed, beginning in 2016, by reports, testimony, investigations, and prosecutions.
The organization was established in 1963 as the U.S. Gymnastics Federation.
The need for a governing body had begun to appear at the 1959 Pan American Games, when friction developed between the Games' organizers, the Amateur Athletic Union, and the Olympic Gymnastics Committee. The NCAA was dissatisfied as well, and asked the National Association of Gymnastics Coaches to begin planning for a new national governing body. The U.S. Gymnastics Federation was established in 1963. However, resistance by the AAU, which was hesitant to relinquish control over gymnastics, and other factors meant that the new federation was not internationally recognized as the governing body of U.S. gymnastics until 1970.
The organization was renamed USA Gymnastics in 1993.
In 2016, reports by journalists and testimony by athletes began to reveal two decades of widespread sexual abuse of hundreds of young athletes by coaches, gyms, and other elements overseen by USAG.
