Maggie Nichols, Statement for 9/15 Hearing titled: Dereliction of Duty: Examining the Inspector Genereal’s Report on the FBI’s handling of the Larry Nassar Investigation
Maggie Nichols, Statement for 9/15 Hearing titled: Dereliction of Duty: Examining the Inspector Genereal’s Report on the FBI’s handling of the Larry Nassar InvestigationChair Durbin, Ranking Member Grassley and distinguished members of the Judiciary Committee. Thank you for inviting me to speak to you today, and I want to personally thank you for your commitments to prioritizing athlete safety and holding accountable those responsible for athlete safety.
I was named as Gymnast 2 in the Office of Inspector General’s report and previously identified as Athlete A by USA Gymnastics. I want everyone to know that this did not happen to Gymnast 2 or to Athlete A. It happened to me, Maggie Nichols.
I first started gymnastics when I was three and since I was a child, I always had the dream of competing for my country in the World Championships and Olympic Games. I was an elite level gymnast by the age of 13, and by the time I was 14, I made the National Team. I traveled internationally for four (4) years attending competitions and in 2015 competed at the World Championships representing our country, where I won a Gold medal. My Olympic dreams ended in the summer of 2015, when my coach and I reported Larry Nassar’s abuse to USAG leadership. I went on to compete at the University of Oklahoma, where I was named First Team All-American in the all-around and all four events, and was a Two-Time National Champion.
