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.

You’ll be even more impressed by Denver superstar Maddie Karr, from Minnesota, after listening to this podcast.
After minor knee surgery in the Fall, Maddie was doing her best Gymnastics ever just as her Senior year was cut short by COVID-19. She competed in the all-around every meet during her College career.
She was ranked No. 4 in the nation in the all-around for 2020 and was ranked in the top 20 on all four events – including in the top five on both vault and bars.
Maddie was named Big 12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year, the second time she won the title.
Maddie is still in school next season. She has season tickets.
