Six years ago, USA Gymnastics was rocked by a massive scandal when hundreds of gymnasts, including Olympic medalists, revealed they had been sexually abused by team doctor Larry Nassar. The toxic culture that allowed this abuse to persist left the organization in turmoil. Changes were made since, including a $380 million settlement, appointing a survivor to the board, and hiring new leadership. Fast forward to the 2024 Paris Olympics, and the women's gymnastics team, some of whom were victims of Nassar's abuse, has shown incredible resilience, making a powerful comeback on the world stage despite the challenges of their past.
