Jamie Dantzscher

Jamie Dantzscher competed in artistic gymnastics at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. She was on the US National Team from 1994-2002. She competed at the 1999 World Championships and would have competed at the 1997 Worlds except she was too young to be eligible. At the 2000 Olympics the USA team originally finished fourth but was upgraded to a bronze medal after it was found that one of the Chinese team members, Dong Fangxiao, was actually underage.

After the Olympics Dantzscher attended UCLA and earned All-American honors 15 times in her four years at the school. She was inducted into the UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame in 2016. She recorded 28 scores of perfect 10 during her college career and was a seven-time NCAA Champion.

In the 2010s Dantzscher joined the lawsuits against the former USA Gymnastics team doctor, Larry Nassar, who was found to have sexually abused many former members of the team. Dantzscher also spoke out against the training methods of the national team coordinator, Béla Károlyi, and his wife, national team coach Márta Károlyi.

Dantzscher later became a gymnastics coach at several gyms in California and then became an assistant coach at Arizona State University.
