MINNEAPOLIS — USA Gymnastics was a house afire five years ago, the massive fallout surrounding the Larry Nassar sexual abuse scandal rendering one of the U.S. Olympic movement’s marquee programs radioactive.
“He said to me ‘You have the opportunity to be a part of potentially the greatest turnaround in sporting history, how can you not take it?’” Leung told The Associated Press. “And I’m like, ’That’s pretty compelling.’”Five-plus years after taking over, things are improving. Not perfect - fitting for a sport where perfection is essentially unattainable - but better. Legally, fiscally and Leung believes, culturally.
Leung wants to get something straight. She didn’t intend to hire an executive leadership team comprised entirely of women to mirror the makeup of an organization whose membership is 85% female. It just sort of happened. Korepin earned her MBA and went into the corporate world before realizing the sport was in her blood. She began moonlighting as a judge before eventually becoming an interim board member in 2018, a decision that eventually led Korepin to her current role as chief program director.
Gone is the mystery of how the money is divided. In its place is the kind of peace of mind Korepin didn’t have when she was competing.
