Have you ever wondered about the geography of college gymnastics? You’re not the only one! This is the fifth installment of a new monthly series, where we’ll answer all of your gymnastics geography questions. These maps will range from informative, to analytical, to light-hearted and fun.
This month, we mapped our list of international gymnasts in the NCAA. Note that due to the availability of rosters (or lack thereof), the list largely goes back to 1998, which is the earliest year included for most teams on Road to Nationals. Where older rosters are available, earlier gymnasts are included. Gymnasts are counted under the nation that appears on team rosters and not necessarily the federation for which they competed. For example, Danusia Francis is listed under England, the nation UCLA listed on its roster, rather than Jamaica, the federation for which she recently competed. Check out the full list for more notes and details.
Hover over a country to see its count of gymnasts. Pinch and expand to zoom into an area on the map. Our data was last updated in December 2024. In our next international map update, we’re excited to see Derin Tanriyaşükür highlight Turkey for the first time on our map!
