USA Gymnastics

United States of America Gymnastics (USA Gymnastics or USAG) is the national governing body for gymnastics in the United States. Established in 1963 as the U.S. Gymnastics Federation (USGF), USA Gymnastics is responsible for selecting and training national teams for the Olympic Games and World Championships. USAG sets the rules and policies that govern the sport of gymnastics, including "promoting and developing gymnastics on the grassroots and national levels, as well as a safe, empowered and positive training environment, and serving as a resource center for members, clubs, fans and gymnasts throughout the United States."

USAG was at the center of the largest sexual abuse scandal in sports history. From the 1990s to the mid-2010s, hundreds of gymnasts—primarily minors—were sexually abused by gym owners, coaches, and staff who worked for the organization and gymnastics programs that it oversaw. In the years after the scandal first drew national attention in 2016, USAG declared bankruptcy, changed its entire leadership, implemented structural reforms, and, along with two other organizations, settled lawsuits brought by victims for nearly $900 million.
