Bridget Elizabeth Sloan was born on June 23, 1992, in Cincinnati, Ohio, and grew up in Pittsboro, Indiana, where she began gymnastics at age four, training at Sharp’s Gymnastics Academy. Her elite career officially began in 2007. In 2008, she recovered from a torn meniscus to become the youngest member of the U.S. Olympic team, earning a silver medal at the Beijing Summer Olympics. The following year, in 2009, Sloan achieved the all-around gold medal at the World Championships in London and became the U.S. National Champion, marking her as the fifth American woman to win the world all-around title. Despite a pectoral injury in 2010 that limited her participation at the U.S. National Championships, she still contributed to the U.S. team’s silver medal at the 2010 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships.
From 2012 to 2016, Sloan competed for the University of Florida Gators women’s gymnastics team. She deferred enrollment until the fall of 2012 to pursue a second Olympic bid, but an elbow injury at the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials concluded her national team career. During her collegiate tenure, she was a pivotal member of the Gators team, which won three consecutive NCAA National Championships from 2013 to 2015. Individually, Sloan secured the NCAA all-around title and balance beam title in 2013, the uneven bars title in 2014, and additional all-around, uneven bars, and balance beam titles in 2016. In 2015, she became the first University of Florida gymnast and the seventh NCAA gymnast to achieve a perfect 10 on all four events, a feat known as a “GymSlam.” She retired from competitive gymnastics on April 16, 2016.
Following her decorated gymnastics career, Bridget Sloan transitioned her focus. She was inducted into the USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame in 2020. Sloan has since ventured into media, joining the SEC Network as a commentator, and has also engaged in initiatives helping athletes transition with purpose. She continues to be a prominent figure in the gymnastics community, known for her leadership and experience.
