Kyla Briana Ross (born October 24, 1996) is a retired American
Ross was an elite gymnast from 2009 to 2016. She was a member of the U.S. Women's Gymnastics team at the 2012 Summer Olympics; dubbed the Fierce Five, the squad won the gold medal in the team competition. Ross was the 2013 world all-around, uneven bars, and balance beam silver medalist. At the 2014 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, she was a member of the gold medal-winning U.S. team and the all-around bronze medalist.
In February 2016, she retired from elite gymnastics to attend college. That fall, she enrolled at the
Personal life
Ross was born on October 24, 1996, in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Kiana and Jason Ross. Her mother is of Filipino, German, and Puerto Rican descent and her father is of African American and Japanese ancestry.[8] Her father was a minor league outfielder for six years.[9] She has two younger siblings, McKenna and Kayne.[10][11] Her sister McKenna played for the Hawaii Rainbow Wahine volleyball team.[12]
After Ross and her family moved to California, she met McKayla Maroney at her gym. The two quickly became best friends; they lived near each other and would carpool together to practices, and they had sleepovers together almost every weekend. As young gymnasts, they both fantasized about going to the Olympics someday. Both would earn spots on the team for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. In an interview, Maroney said, "We've known each other since we were six years old... we will always be best friends."[13]
Ross attended
On August 16, 2018, Ross came forward as a survivor of Larry Nassar's sexual abuse alongside fellow Olympian and UCLA teammate Madison Kocian.
Early gymnastics career
Ross's mother has said that her daughter was always very strong, with a lot of energy: "She was born with muscles. We would go to the park and everybody would say, 'Whose baby is on top of that jungle gym?' And I would say, 'Oh, that's my baby. Don't worry about her, she's fine.'"[18] Her father added, "It would use all my effort to get her to sit in her car seat, and I'm a pretty big guy, a strong guy. When she was born, we were like, 'Oh my goodness, she has triceps, she has quads hanging off her. What the heck's going on?' And she was just super strong. I mean, at an early age, she was able to walk across the monkey bars, just hanging herself."[8]
Ross began gymnastics when she was three years old at Greenville Gymnastics Training Center in Greenville, South Carolina. She later trained at Richmond Olympiad in Virginia and National Gymnastics Training Center in Aliso Viejo before moving to Gym-Max Gymnastics in Costa Mesa, California in 2005.[19] Her coach, Jenny Zhang, was skeptical about Ross's future in gymnastics because "she had this square body, no legs, square shoulders." But, fellow coach Howie Liang replied, "Don't worry about her. She will have long legs."[18]
Ross found early success as a competitive gymnast. Between 2005 and 2007, she won five state titles and two national titles.[20] She competed as a level 10 gymnast in 2008. At that year's state championships, she won titles on uneven bars, balance beam, floor exercise, and in the all-around. She added another title on balance beam and a second-place finish in the all-around at the regional championships. At the 2008 Junior Olympic national championships, she won the balance beam, floor exercise, and all-around titles and finished second on vault.[20]

Senior elite gymnastics career
2012
Because her 16th birthday fell within the calendar year, Ross became a senior elite gymnast in 2012 and was eligible to compete at the Olympics. In March, she competed at the 2012 Pacific Rim Gymnastics Championships in Everett, Washington. The U.S. team consisted of senior gymnasts Ross, Wieber, and Douglas, and junior gymnasts Priessman, Ohashi, and Amelia Hundley. They easily won the competition, beating silver medalist China by nearly 20 points.[51][52] Individually, Ross placed second in the all-around (59.200) behind Wieber, the reigning world all-around champion.[53] In the event finals, she earned gold on balance beam (15.375), silver on uneven bars (15.050), and bronze on floor exercise (14.375).[54]

London Olympics
At the end of July, Ross competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, United Kingdom. She helped the American team, nicknamed the "Fierce Five",[66] qualify first to the team final,[67] and individually, she qualified as the second reserve for the uneven bars final with a score of 14.866.[68] In the team final, she contributed scores of 14.933 on uneven bars and 15.133 on balance beam toward the American team's gold-medal finish.[69]
2013
Ross was slated to compete at the 2013 American Cup but withdrew because of an ankle injury.[70] However, she performed an exhibition balance beam routine after the competition had ended.
In March, she was chosen to be a part of the U.S. European tour team that would compete in the City of Jesolo Trophy and in the USA-Germany-Romania Tri-Meet in Chemnitz, Germany. At Jesolo, she won gold medals in the team and uneven bars competitions, and silvers in the all-around and on balance beam.[71] At the Chemnitz meet, she contributed to the U.S.'s first-place finish and won the all-around with a total score of 59.300, thus becoming the last gymnast to beat Simone Biles at an international all-around competition.
At the Secret U.S. Classic in July, Ross won gold medals in the all-around and on uneven bars and a silver medal on balance beam.[72] At the P&G Championships in August, she finished second in the all-around and won gold on uneven bars and balance beam.[73] She was invited to the qualifying camp for the 2013 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, and on September 15, she was one of four gymnasts named to that team.[74]
The World Championships took place in October in
2014
Ross was selected to compete at the 2014 American Cup but withdrew because of a back injury.[77] In March, she competed at the City of Jesolo Trophy, where she won gold medals in the team and all-around competitions. She also won silver on uneven bars and floor exercise, but finished sixth on balance beam.[78] The following month, she competed at the Pacific Rim Championships in Richmond, Canada. She won gold medals with the team and on balance beam, and took silver in the all-around and on uneven bars and floor exercise.[79]
In August, Ross competed at the Secret U.S. Classic, where she finished first on beam, second in the all-around and on floor, and third on uneven bars.[80] Later that month, she competed at the P&G Championships and finished second in the all-around, first on balance beam, sixth on uneven bars, and fifth on floor.[81][82] Despite several mistakes on the first day, she was named to her third consecutive senior national team.
On September 17, Ross was selected to compete at the
2015
On February 22, 2015, Ross announced on
On July 25, she competed at the Secret U.S. Classic, competing only on uneven bars and balance beam because of a bruised heel she sustained during training. She had two falls on uneven bars while trying to debut a new routine, which included a Chow (stalder Shaposhnikova) connected to a Bhardwaj (full-twisting Pak salto). She hit her ribs on the low bar after her Bhardwaj and fell. She restarted her routine but fell on a handstand while performing a toe-on full pirouette. She then restarted the routine a third time, this time removing the full twist in the Pak salto and only doing toe-on pirouettes. She dismounted with a double front, a new dismount for her, and scored a very low 12.250 (5.9 difficulty), finishing 15th on the event. She regained her composure and had a better performance on beam, despite a wobble on her side somi, and scored a respectable 14.550, placing fourth behind Worlds teammate and 2-Time World Champion Simone Biles and Olympic teammates Gabby Douglas and Aly Raisman. After the competition she shared her hopes to make major improvements in her routines and return to compete in the all-around at the P&G Championships.
On August 13 & 15, Ross competed at the 2015 P&G Championships, competing in the all-around with a new floor routine. However, on Night 1, she put her hands down on her last tumbling pass on floor (double tuck) and scored a 13.550. She moved up in the rankings a little bit with a good double-twisting Yurchenko vault one rotation later, scoring a 15.050. On the uneven bars she executed her Bhardwaj (full-twisting Pak Salto) and nailed her Jaeger release, but under-rotated her double front dismount and sat it down, scoring a 14.050. On beam she had a sub-par routine, scoring a 14.250. She ended Night 1 in 12th place, tied with 2015 Pan Am Games team gold medalist Megan Skaggs, with a total all-around score of 56.900.
The first 2 rotations on Night 2 did not go according to plan for Ross either. She under-rotated her double-twisting Yurchenko and scored a 14.550. On bars, she was able to control her Bhardwaj transition but came close on her Jaeger release. She once again under-rotated her double front dismount and sat it down again. She scored a 14.050, same score on Night 1, for a total of 28.100, placing her 12th overall in event standings. She regained her composure with an excellent beam routine that scored a 15.250. Her total of 29.500 placed her 3rd on the event behind Simone Biles and Alyssa Baumann. On floor, she did not do a connection following her Double Arabian (taking out her preferred stag jump) and under-rotated her double tuck dismount but put it to her feet. She scored a 13.800 and had a total of 27.350, placing 12th on the event.
Despite her mistakes, she placed 10th in the All-Around with a score of 114.550, behind Biles,
2016
On February 22, 2016, Ross revealed through the
NCAA career
2016–2017 season
Ross began attending the
At the 2017 Pac-12 Championship, Ross captured the 2017 Pac-12 Balance Beam title by scoring the first-ever Perfect 10 on beam at the Championship meet. She was also named the 2017 Pac-12 Freshman of the Year (UCLA's first since 2011).[95]
Ross finished the 2017 regular season ranked nationally 1st on uneven bars, 4th on balance beam and 19th on vault. On March 21, 2017, Ross earned first-team All-Pac-12 honors on vault, uneven bars and balance beam.[96] On March 27, 2017, Ross earned first-team regular season All-American honors on uneven bars and balance beam.[97]
Ross continued her success at the 2017 NCAA championships. Despite falling on both of her floor exercise routines during the regular season, she performed her routine well during the semifinals, scoring a career-high 9.825. She finished with career-high 39.575 in the all around and placed 6th—the top all around placement for the Bruins. She also won national balance beam title with a 9.9625 and a share of the uneven bars title with a 9.95 in a six-way tie. By earning these two national titles, Ross made history as the first female gymnast to become an Olympic, World and NCAA Champion.
2017–2018 season
Prior to the 2018 season, Ross increased her training intensity with the goal of consistently competing all around during the regular season. Ultimately, she earned First team regular season All-American honors in the all-around and the Uneven Bars, the latter of which she tied for first in regular season individual rankings for the second straight season. Prior to the NCAA championships, she picked up PAC 12 championship titles on bars and the all around, and regional titles on Bars and Beam. At the NCAA championships Ross competed all-around for UCLA. She performed well, scoring 9.850 on vault, 9.950 on Bars, 9.950 on beam and 9.8875 on floor to score a 39.6375 in the all-around, helping qualify UCLA to the Super Six. These scores also allowed her to finish 2nd on Beam, 3rd on Bars and 4th in the All-around individually. She performed all-around again for the Bruins in the Super Six Finals. Beginning on floor she made an uncharacteristic mistake with a fall on her final pass— her first fall of the season on any of the events. She then showed good performances on the remaining three events to help UCLA win their first team championships in eight years.
2018–2019 season
On February 10, Ross earned her first perfect 10 on vault.
At the
2019–2020 season
Ross helped UCLA finish second in the opening meet of the season, the Collegiate Challenge, finishing behind Oklahoma. Individually Ross finished first in the all-around, beating reigning NCAA all-around champion Maggie Nichols. She also recorded the highest vault, balance beam, and floor exercise score at the competition.[103] On January 12, at a meet against Boise State, Ross earned a perfect 10 on uneven bars, her first of the 2020 season and her first perfect 10 on the apparatus at Pauley Pavilion.[104] Furthermore, Ross finished first in the all-around for the second week in a row; she also won the meet titles for the uneven bars and floor exercise.[105] On January 18, Ross received a second perfect 10 on uneven bars for the second meet in a row, winning the meet title for the uneven bars; she also won the meet titles for the vault, beam and all-around.[106] On March 8, Ross recorded her first perfect 10 on vault for the season.[107] The 2019–20 season was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which prompted the NCAA and PAC-12 to cancel all regular season and championship events. In April, Ross was awarded the Honda Sports Award for gymnastics, beating out finalists Lexy Ramler, Trinity Thomas, and Maggie Nichols. Additionally Ross was named Pac-12 Gymnast of the Year for the second season in a row and finished the season undefeated in the all-around for the eight appearances she made.[108]
Ross concluded her final season with the following accolades:
- 2020 Pac-12 Gymnast of the Year
- 2020 West Region Gymnast of the Year
- 2020 Honda Sports Award winner (top gymnast)[109][110]
