Timeline
Rhonda Faehn (born April 28, 1971) is an American college gymnastics coach and former college and elite gymnast.
Faehn was born on April 28, 1971, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
She finished twelfth at the 1986 U.S. National Championships, but had her greatest achievements in 1987, when she finished sixth at the national championships, and won the individual national title on vault, scoring perfect 10s on her laid-out Yurchenko vaults in both the individual all-around competition and the vault event final.
As a gymnast, Faehn competed at the 1987 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships and was named as an alternate for the U.S team at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea.
She competed at the 1987 World Championships as part of the U.S. national team, and had the highest placement for the American women in the all-around final, finishing 19th.
In 1988, her last year as an elite senior, Faehn finished sixth at the U.S. Nationals, and defended her individual national title on vault.
She finished seventh at the 1988 Olympic Trials and was named the alternate to the U.S. Olympic Team.
Although she never competed in the Olympic events, her presence led to a controversial ruling that cost the U.S. the bronze medal.
As an alternate, Faehn remained on the podium after removing the springboard that Kelly Garrison-Steves used to mount the uneven bars.
A Code of Points rule bans coaches from remaining on the podium as an athlete competes.
Although Faehn was not a coach, the presiding judge, Ellen Berger – an East German – invoked the rule and penalized the Americans five-tenths of a point, causing them to finish fourth behind East Germany and knocking them out of medal contention.
Faehn also competed collegiately, earning a scholarship to UCLA, where she attended from 1990 to 1994.
She also served as a student-assistant at her alma mater, UCLA in 1993 and 1994.
After the fallout from the USA Gymnastics sex abuse scandal, she was briefly hired at the University of Michigan, but was fired shortly after due to backlash from alumni and some abuse survivors.
Prior to coaching at Florida, she coached at the University of Maryland from 1997 to 1998, and at the University of Nebraska from 1999 to 2002.
Faehn was the head coach of the Florida Gators women's gymnastics team of the University of Florida for thirteen seasons, from 2003 to 2015.

She compiled a record of 347–86–6 as the head coach at the University of Florida.
Her teams finished no lower than fourth in the Southeastern Conference (SEC), widely regarded as the toughest gymnastics conference in the country.
In 2003 and 2004, Florida placed second in their NCAA regional.
From 2005 to 2008, the Gators won four consecutive NCAA regional tournaments.
During her thirteen seasons as the head coach of the Gators, Florida finished in the top ten NCAA gymnastics teams in the nation every year, never finishing lower than seventh at the NCAA championship.

On May 11, 2015, Faehn was hired as the Senior Vice President of the Women's Program at USA Gymnastics.
Shortly after she was hired, she was informed by Sarah Jantzi of Twin City Twisters of a report of "uncomfortable" medical treatments administered by Larry Nassar on a national team athlete.
