Kyla Ross

Kyla Briana Ross is an American college artistic gymnast. An elite gymnast from 2009 to 2016, she was a member of the U.S. Women's Gymnastics team, dubbed the Fierce Five by the media, at the 2012 Summer Olympics, where she won a gold medal in the team competition. Ross was also a member of the gold-medal-winning U.S. team at the 2014 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships. Individually, she is the 2013 world all-around, uneven bars and balance beam silver medalist and the 2014 world all-around bronze medalist.

In February 2016, she decided to retire from elite gymnastics and focus on college. At the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), Ross has been on the university's NCAA gymnastics team since fall 2016 and named eleven times as an All-American, earning first team regular season honors on bars and beam in 2017, first team honors for the post season on bars, beam, and the all-around, first team regular season honors in 2018 on bars, and the all-around and first team honors for the postseason on bars, beam, and the all-around and second team honors on floor exercise.

On March 16, 2019, Ross became the 11th NCAA gymnast to achieve a "Gym Slam", having earned a perfect 10 score on all four apparatuses. One week later, she became only the second NCAA gymnast in history, after Maggie Nichols, to achieve a second Gym Slam. She is the first female gymnast ever to win NCAA, World, and Olympic championship titles.

For the 2020–21 season Ross remained at UCLA to finish her degree in molecular, cell, and developmental biology. She joined the UCLA coaching staff as an Undergraduate Assistant Coach.
