Ryan Sheehan is a seven-time Pan American medalist, and two-time World Championship Team Member for Canada, who came forward publicly regarding his abusive experiences in gymnastics in 2021. Since then, Ryan co-founded Gymnasts for Change Canada, testified at a Parliamentary Committee on SafeSport in Canada, and has since launched his own campaign - the Next Athlete Project. Ryan moved to France in November of 2023 to continue his training, find love for the sport again and pursue advocacy with a greater distance from the Canadian sport system.
