While it’s been more common in the last quad for elite gymnasts to do NCAA simultaneously or as part of their longer careers, for a long time, gymnasts had to choose between going pro or competing in college? So where are some of those NCAA gymnasts now, and what are they doing in their careers?
Coaches
Georgia
Courtney Kupets Carter, Cecile Landi, and Marissa King
Prior to securing her legacy as one of the most successful collegiate gymnasts of all time, Courtney Kupets Carter won team silver and individual bronze on bars at the 2004 Olympics with Team USA despite what would later be diagnosed as a stress fracture in her hip. Unfortunately, that level of success didn’t carry over to her tenure as head coach at her alma mater, Georgia. She parted ways with the GymDogs in April 2024 after another average season.
Canqueteau-Landi was a member of the 1996 French Olympic team and, most recently, has coached multiple Olympic medalists, including Madison Kocian, Jordan Chiles, and Simone Biles. She’ll officially join Georgia’s staff after the 2024 Games conclude and will join former Florida Gator Marissa King, who competed for Great Britain at the 2008 Olympics and who will serve as assistant coach to Canqueteau-Landi and co-head coach Ryan Roberts.
