It is the dream of many young athletes to one day make it to the Olympics, but in the end that is a feat only a handful manage to achieve in their lives.
Aly Raisman, McKayla Maroney, Jordyn Wieber and Jamie Dantzscher are among the very select few who not only made it to the Olympics but also took home a medal, proving to be the best of the best in the gymnastics world.
That accomplishment pales in comparison to what those four women and 85 others did in a Michigan courtroom this week however, as they faced their abuser and former doctor Larry Nassar.
The women were composed, steely and refused to buckle under pressure as they delivered powerful statements detailing the impact Nassar’s sexual abuse has had on them over the years.
It was an inspiring and emotional display by these women, who in using their voices to speak out about their abuse once again made their country proud.
And there are more statements to come, with 31 victims set to testify next week beginning on Monday.
Judge Rosemarie Aquilina is then expected to announce Nassar’s sentence on Tuesday.
