#16: Dominique Moceanu
It isn’t every day that a child under the age of 18 makes it onto a list like this. Seeing as most children are usually off playing with their friends or doing homework, they don’t always have time for other ‘more serious’ things. However, that wasn’t the case for gymnast Dominique Moceanu.
In 2016, after the scandal broke, many people became aware of the many malpractices that were going on in the world of USA gymnastics. Well, in 2008, Dominique was one of the gymnasts to come forward with her experiences. At the time, she wasn’t treated with respect, but there is no denying her efforts worked towards exposing the horrible people involved.
