ATHENS, Ga. — Georgia has hired Cecile Landi, the longtime personal coach of Olympic gymnastics champion Simone Biles, to help lead the GymDogs. Landi will serve as a co-head coach alongside Ryan Roberts, who spent the last two years as an assistant under Courtney Kupets Carter. Kupets Carter was fired last week after seven seasons with the program. Landi, who competed for France at the 1996 Olympics, has served alongside her husband Laurent as the leader of the elite program at World Champions Centre, the Houston-area gym owned by the Biles family. They began coaching Biles in 2017, helping her win three world all-around titles and two medals at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
