Georgia Gymnastics is poised for a new chapter after the exit of Courtney Kupets Carter, who has been relieved of her coaching duties after seven seasons. Over the past decade, programs like Oklahoma, Florida, Alabama, and UCLA have emerged as dominant forces, collectively amassing multiple national titles. Amidst this competitive landscape, Georgia is now in search of its ninth head coach. Among the rumored candidates under consideration is LSU’s Jay Clark, whose recent success and deep ties to both Georgia and the gymnastics community position him as a strong contender for the role.

Even the NIL and social media star, Olivia Dunne, found herself at a crossroads regarding her future in the sport. With the option to extend her collegiate career due to COVID-19 eligibility rules, Dunne recently expressed, “It definitely makes me want to come back, but I haven’t quite thought about it completely.” However, it remains to be seen whether Olivia Dunne will still be with LSU or not.
