Season 1:
Aly Raisman, Nadia Comaneci, Laurie Hernandez, Katelyn Ohashi, and other legends recount the thrilling stories behind their Gold Medals and Perfect 10s, and break down the high-pressure All-Around competition and the artistry-meets-acrobatics of the Floor event.
In the second installment of Defying Gravity, high-flying athletes from across generations describe the struggle to achieve “perfection” and show how diverse body types are now excelling across gymnastics.
A great gymnast needs mental toughness and great coaches -- but not all coaches are alike. What kind of support do world-class gymnasts really need to excel?
Part four of this six-part documentary series explores the tradition of innovation that shaped gymnastics’ most powerful, but riskiest event: the Vault.
In part five of our documentary series, survivors of abuse describe the culture that allowed a USA Gymnastics physician and many dozens of other coaches and officials to take advantage of athletes, and explain how they’re using their voices and the life skills that gymnastics taught them to reclaim their sport.
In the final installment of our six-part documentary series, American icons Jordyn Wieber, Aly Raisman, Samantha Peszek, Dominique Moceanu, and Amanda Borden reveal how they overcame adversity to help their teams achieve greatness.
