Joscelyn Roberson has finally found her new home in Georgia after several trials and errors, two trips away from her own home, and a dose of injury and heartbreak. Roberson had previously traveled elsewhere to find the perfect setting to amplify her profile, but has now found the calling from the GymDogs’ locker room to chase the ultimate 2028 L.A. Olympics dream. Her entry to Georgia has been welcomed wholeheartedly by former Georgian Simone Biles and by the Landi couple.
Roberson has made a name for herself in the realm of artistic gymnastics and has secured multiple accolades at a very young age, which has already skyrocketed her profile to great heights. Since leaving Arkansas, Roberson embarked on three official trips to find the perfect space that would help her continue her dual-track career. Her first stop was at Gainesville, where she took a sneak peek at the Gators’ backyard, followed by a second trip to the turf of the UCLA Bruins.
After the two visits, Roberson made a third visit to Athens to see what they have in store. The visit successfully achieved its purpose, as Roberson took to her social media a few hours ago and made the official announcement of joining hands with the GymDogs, where she will continue her student-athlete journey.
Joining hands with Georgia has coincidentally rekindled a reunion between Roberson and the Landi couples. Cécile Canqueteau-Landi is currently the head coach of Georgia gymnastics, and her husband, Laurent Landi, recently joined as an associate head coach. The Landis had previously trained Roberson, which helped the 20-year-old achieve great feats.
Reacting to the news was the former WCC training partner and the most decorated gymnast, Simone Biles, who reacted to the post, writing:
the gang is back together again🥹❤️
To which Roberson replied:
@simonebiles 🥹🤍
The Landis ‘ daughter, Juliette Landi, also shared her excitement in seeing Roberson in the GymDogs attire, writing:
GOSH I AM SO EXCITED
Alongside the announcement, Roberson posted a series of pictures where she beamed in the Georgian attire, posing with the Landi couple, while holding a sign that proudly declared, “The Gang’s All Here! GO DAWGS.” She also posed alongside other team staff members while proudly holding the Georgia placard aloft, all the while being showered with confetti.

Choosing between universities was a task in itself; however, Joscelyn Roberson took no time in declaring how comforting and fulfilling it felt to have joined hands with the GymDogs. As she declared her transfer news, Roberson wrote in her social media post:
“The minute I stepped on campus at UGA it just felt like home. I know it’s cliche but the relaxing comfort and happiness I felt while I was there was unlike anything else!!”
With this new partnership, the gymnastics community is bracing for a massive change, the effects of which are expected to be felt all the way from the floor of UGA to the international stage.
