NEW FACES AT THE HELM
For the first time in program history, the GymDogs have co-head coaches beginning in the 2025 season.  Hall of Fame USA Gymnastics coach Cecile Canqueteau-Landi and Ryan Roberts – who has spent the past six seasons as an assistant coach at Alabama and Georgia – were named co-head coaches of the University of Georgia gymnastics program by J. Reid Parker Director of Athletics Josh Brooks on April 25, 2024.
The pair then hired Oleksii Koltakov and Marissa King as assistant coaches after both spent the previous two seasons as assistants at Nebraska. 
 
FRESH POWER
Six freshmen contributed 132 scores throughout 2024, four of which contributed on multiple events in their rookie season. 
 
OLYMPIANS AMONG US
Co-head coach Cecile Canqueteau-Landi and assistant coach Marissa King are both former Olympians. 
Canqueteau-Landi competed at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics for France and King competed at the 2008 Beijing Olympics for Great Britain.
Canqueteau-Landi has also coached in three athletes at three Olympic games- Madison Kocian in 2016 in Rio and Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles in 2020 in Tokyo and 2024 in Paris. 
Additionally, Csenge Bacskay competed on vault for Hungary at the 2024 Paris Olympics. 
 
AMERICA'S COACH 
One-third of the gymnasts in the 2024 USA Olympic Trials were coached by Georgia co-head coach Cecile Canqueteau-Landi.  She coached nearly half of the 2024 USA Olympic team, including alternates. 
 
OLYMPIC MEDALS
Co-head coach Cecile Canqueteau-Landi has coached three Olympians to 11 medals across three Olympic Games. 
 
SCOTT CONTINUES THE MOONWALK
Sophomore Ja' Free Scott's beam routine features the Georgia moonwalk tradition. She is the eighth GymDog to perform the moonwalk on the balance beam, following Nikki Childs, Cassidy McComb, Lindsey Cheek, Mary Beth Box, Morgan Reynolds, Sabrina Vega, and Soraya Hawthorne.
 
NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK
The 2025 Georgia roster features 10 newcomers, including three transfers.
