As Los Angeles prepares for the 2028 Olympics, it has a unique chance to foster diversity in gymnastics, expanding opportunities for young girls of color.
The medals won by Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles in Paris don't just represent personal triumph; they are beacons of hope for aspiring young gymnasts, particularly girls of color.
Access to gymnastics for minority populations is severely limited, with few public programs available in cities where these communities reside, favoring affluent suburbs.
To truly diversify gymnastics, investment in foundational programs is crucial; it’s not just about the athletes at the top but nurturing talent from the grassroots level.
