ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Georgia has hired Cecile Canqueteau-Landi, a longtime personal coach of Olympic gymnastics champion Simone Biles, to help lead the GymDogs, the school’s women’s gymnastics program.
Athletic director Josh Brooks made the announcement Thursday.
Canqueteau-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 at her alma mater.
Canqueteau-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.
The Landis began coaching Biles in late 2017, helping her to three world all-around titles and a pair of medals at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Biles is preparing for a chance to make the five-woman U.S. Olympic team this summer in Paris.
