Bridget Sloan interview
She talks about choosing Florida … over Utah and Georgia. Bridget Sloan won 3 Championships with the Gators. Everyone expected her to go to Georgia.
She speaks about her coach Marvin Sharp for the first time.
When she first heard about his suicide in 2015 — while a College Gymnastics superstar — she was confused and angry. Bridget broke her phone in frustration.
Her Mom thought she should come home to Indiana. Bridget refused.
Her parents felt betrayed too.
In fact, she felt guilty that she’d had such a good career with Marvin Sharp. Good memories over the 20 years. Bridget was not a victim of her coach. She looked up to Marvin as a second father.
At the time Bridget decided to stay quiet. She did speak to Sam Peszek about it at the time. Sam had also trained with Marvin Sharp after the Olympics.

Simone Biles Leads D-Scores At 2018 Gymnastics World All-Around Final
The world’s least respected coach thinks Simone “doesn’t look invincible any more“.
That’s absurd, of course. If the greatest female gymnast all time wants some serious competition she’ll have to challenge the men. I’d love to see MAG vs Simone on a vault table 130cm high.
I’ll be putting my money on Simone. 😀
