JORDYN
WIEBER

FORMER AMERICAN ARTISTIC GYMNAST

Jordyn Wieber is a member
of the USA Gymnastics Hall
of Fame and the "Fierce
Five" United States
gymnastic squad that won
team gold at the 2012
Olympics. Jordyn was a
two-time U.S. all-around
champion (2011 and 2012)
and the 2011 World all-
around champion. Her
illustrious Elite Career
included three gold medals at the 2011 World
Championships and four U.S. senior national titles (all
around, bars and floor in 2011 and all-around in 2012).
In 2019, Jordyn was introduced as the head coach of
the Arkansas women's Gymnastics program, making
her the youngest NCAA head-coach in history.
In 2018, she came forward as the fourth member of the
2012 Fierce Five to accuse their national team doctor,
Larry Nassar, of sexual abuse. Jordyn began seeing
Nassar at age eight, since she grew up in Lansing and
Nassar worked at nearby Michigan State University.

Today, Jordyn is talking how she turned devastation
into inspiration.
