One of GymCastic’s best yet.
Jamie Dantzscher was a 2000 Olympic medalist, at the end of the darkest era of USA Gymnastics in my opinion.
She went on to a fantastic career at UCLA. One of the greats of all time. She led UCLA to 3 NCAA Championships in four years.
But we know Jamie best as one of the most vocal critics of the Karoli years. And her February 2017 60 Minutes interview alongside Jeanette Antolin and Jessica Howard accusing the USAG criminal doctor.
What makes this interview so winning is Jamie’s blunt honesty. Down to earth. Saying what she thinks.
I was totally won over. Let’s all wish Jamie Dantzscher well.
