Former USA Gymnast Maggie Nichols Reveals Struggle with Eating Disorder and Abuse in New Memoir

Nichols believes speaking out against team doctor Larry Nassar may have cost her a spot on the 2016 Olympic team.

Maggie Nichols, a former USA Gymnastics team member, has opened up about her struggles with an eating disorder, which she attributes to the pressure to be thin and the sexual abuse she suffered from team doctor Larry Nassar.
In her new memoir, 'Unstoppable!', Nichols shares her experiences, including the verbal abuse she received, the pressure to lose weight, and the sexual abuse she endured from Nassar.
Nichols believes that her decision to speak out against Nassar may have cost her a spot on the 2016 Olympic team.
Despite the setbacks, Nichols went on to become an eight-time college champion at the University of Oklahoma and is now a personal trainer and advocate for victims of abuse.
USA Gymnastics has since stated that it has 'embraced a journey of cultural change' and no longer has a relationship with the Karolyis, the coaches who were in charge during Nichols' time on the team.
