'''Courtney Anne Kupets Carter''' (born July 27, 1986)<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.usghof.org/files/bio/c_kupets/c_kupets.html |title=Biography: Kupets, Courtney |website=www.usghof.org |access-date=2016-07-21}}</ref> is an American former [[artistic gymnast]]. She is a two-time Olympic medalist from the [[2004 Olympics]] (silver in the team competition, bronze on [[uneven bars (gymnastics)|uneven bars]]), the [[2002 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships|2002 world champion]] on the uneven bars, the 2003 [[USA Gymnastics National Championships|U.S. national]] all-around champion, and the 2004 [[USA Gymnastics National Championships|U.S. national]] all-around co-champion (with [[Carly Patterson]]). She is also a member of the gold medal-winning U.S. team at the [[2003 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships|2003 World Championships]].

During her time at the [[University of Georgia]], the Georgia women's gymnastics team won four straight [[National Collegiate Athletic Association|NCAA]] national championships from 2006 to 2009. During the 2009–10 season, Kupets was a student assistant coach to the team's new head coach, Jay Clark. On May 9, 2017, Kupets-Carter was announced as the new head coach of the [[Georgia Gym Dogs]].<ref>{{cite tweet |user=UGAGymnastics |author=Georgia Gymnastics |number=862019801203572737 |date=May 9, 2017 |title=The new head coach of the Georgia Gym Dogs - @CourtneyKupets!}}</ref> She was relieved as head coach of Georgia Gymnastics on April 19, 2024.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.onlineathens.com/story/sports/college/bulldogs-extra/2024/04/19/georgia-gymnastics-courtney-kupets-carter-lily-smith/73206742007/ |title=Georgia gymnastics coach Courtney Kupets Carter fired after seven seasons}}</ref>

== Early life ==
Kupets was raised in [[Gaithersburg, Maryland]], and trained at Hill's Gymnastics, the former gym of Olympians [[Dominique Dawes]] and [[Elise Ray]]. Kupets attended [[Col. Zadok Magruder High School|Colonel Zadok Magruder High School]] in [[Rockville, Maryland]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Kupets, Courtney • USA Gymnastics |url=https://usagym.org/halloffame/inductee/kupets-courtney/ |access-date=2025-06-02 |website=USA Gymnastics}}</ref> After the 2004 Olympics, she competed for the [[Georgia Gym Dogs|University of Georgia]] (UGA) where she was a member of [[Alpha Omicron Pi]] women's fraternity, joining her older sister, Ashley Kupets.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://uagreeks.uark.edu/panhellenic-council/alpha-omicron-pi.php |title=Alpha Omicron Pi |website=uagreeks.uark.edu |access-date=February 26, 2025}}</ref>

==Gymnastics==
===Early gymnastics career===
Kupets began gymnastics in 1989, earned a place on [[USA Gymnastics]]' TOPs developmental team in 1994, and reached the elite level in 1999. At her first [[USA Gymnastics National Championships|U.S. National Championships]] in 1999, she placed eighth in the junior division and became a member of the junior national team.

===Senior career===
In 2002, her first year as a senior competitor, Kupets placed second at the [[American Cup (gymnastics)|American Cup]], behind 2000 Olympian [[Tasha Schwikert]], and placed eighth at Nationals. She was named to the U.S. team for the [[2002 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships]] in [[Debrecen|Debrecen, Hungary]], where she won the uneven bars final over five-time defending champion [[Svetlana Khorkina]].

In 2003, Kupets won the [[U.S. Classic]] and then became the national champion for the first time. She was named to the U.S. team for the [[2003 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships|2003 World Championships]] in [[Anaheim, California]], and competed well in the qualifying round, contributing to the USA's high placement and qualifying to the all-around and uneven bars finals. However, during a practice session before the team finals, she [[Achilles tendon rupture|tore her left Achilles tendon]] on a double Arabian somersault and was forced to withdraw from the event, returning home to Maryland immediately for surgery. The U.S. team went on to win the gold medal. Kupets was still considered a member of the squad and received credit and a medal for her contributions in the preliminaries.

In 2004, Kupets became co-national champion with Patterson. A few weeks later, she placed first at the Olympic Trials, earning a spot on the Olympic team.

====2004 Olympic Games====
[[Gymnastics at the 2004 Summer Olympics|At the Olympics]] in [[Athens]], the U.S. women won a silver medal. Kupets was expected to compete on bars, beam and floor in the team final; but a leg injury (later discovered to be a [[stress fracture]] in her hip) caused her to be suddenly withdrawn from the beam lineup. [[Mohini Bhardwaj]] took her place on the event, and Kupets competed only on bars and floor in the team final. She received the team's highest score on bars (9.662), putting the U.S. temporarily ahead of eventual winner [[Romania]] in the standings. But she also received the lowest score on floor exercise (9.187) after faltering on a dance combination while trying to turn on the opposite leg from the one she normally used.

Kupets competed in the individual all-around after placing fourth, with a total score of 37.937, in the qualifying round. In the final, she finished ninth with a total of 37.112 after stepping out of bounds on floor exercise and nearly falling on beam. However, she won the bronze medal in the uneven bars final with a score of 9.637, behind [[Émilie Le Pennec]] of [[France]] (9.687) and fellow American [[Terin Humphrey]] (9.662). She finished fifth in the balance beam final with a score of 9.375.

After returning from Athens, Kupets traveled across the United States with other gymnasts on an exhibition tour sponsored by [[T.J. Maxx]].

===NCAA career===
In 2005, Kupets joined the [[Georgia Gym Dogs|University of Georgia gymnastics team]] on a full athletic scholarship. In her first season, she was named [[Southeastern Conference|SEC]] freshman of the year and she contributed to the team's first-place finish at the 2006 [[NCAA Women's Gymnastics Championships]] and won the all-around, bars, and beam titles.

During the 2007 season, she received a 10.00 on the uneven bars while competing against the [[Alabama Crimson Tide|University of Alabama]]. It was the first 10.00 on the bars for Georgia since 2002 and the first of Kupets' career.

At the 2007 [[Southeastern Conference]] (SEC) Championships, Kupets tied teammate [[Katie Heenan]] for the all-around gold with a total of 39.600, and earned the vault and bars titles with scores of 9.975 and 9.925, respectively. In the team competition, [[Georgia Bulldogs|Georgia]] lost to the [[Florida Gators women's gymnastics|University of Florida]] after winning the conference title for the previous three years. After this, Kupets led the team to the North Central Regional title and won the all-around despite the distraction of her older sister, Ashley Kupets, tearing her Achilles tendon during the warmup for floor exercise.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.nmnathletics.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=8800&ATCLID=325181 |title=Ashley Kupets - Official Athletics Site of the University of Georgia Bulldogs |website=www.nmnathletics.com |access-date=2016-07-20 |archive-date=2016-09-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160914051227/http://www.nmnathletics.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=8800&ATCLID=325181 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

Two weeks later, Georgia upset Florida to win the preliminary session at Nationals. Kupets scored 39.75 on Day 1, with a 9.9 on beam and 9.95 on bars, floor, and vault, earning her second consecutive NCAA all-around title. In the Super 6 finals, Georgia totaled 197.85 and earned a third-consecutive NCAA team championship, the team's eighth overall. Kupets also won the individual vault title, along with silver medals on bars and floor and a bronze on beam. She was the only gymnast to medal on all four events.

Performing on floor during a meet against Arkansas in March 2008, Kupets tore her right Achilles tendon, the second such injury she had suffered in her career. She was out for the remainder of the season.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://media.www.redandblack.com/media/storage/paper871/news/2008/02/29/Sports/Kupets.Tears.Achilles-3245628.shtml |title=Georgia Gymnast Star Kupets tears Achilles Tendon; out for season |publisher=Redandblack.com |date=February 29, 2008 |access-date=2008-04-11 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080405195419/http://media.www.redandblack.com/media/storage/paper871/news/2008/02/29/Sports/Kupets.Tears.Achilles-3245628.shtml |archive-date=2008-04-05}}</ref>

At the start of 2009, Kupets was named SEC Gymnast of the Week for the first four weeks of the season and won the all-around at seven straight meets. Against Alabama, she recorded a career-best 39.825 to win the all-around and scored perfect 10s on uneven bars and beam.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.georgiadogs.com/ViewArticle.dbml?&DB_OEM_ID=8800&ATCLID=3631954 |title=Archived copy |access-date=2009-02-07 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061122055237/http://www.georgiadogs.com/ViewArticle.dbml |archive-date=2006-11-22}}</ref> At a home meet against Florida, she scored the first perfect 10 of her career on floor en route to winning the all-around with another career best of 39.850. Though Georgia faltered at the SEC Championships and suffered their only defeat of the season, Kupets again claimed the all-around title and was named SEC Gymnast of the Year. She led Georgia to a win at Regionals with a 10.00 on vault, giving her at least one 10 on each apparatus in the 2009 season.

At the 2009 NCAA Championships, Kupets became national all-around champion for a record-tying third time, earning a 10 on beam and defeating runner-up Kristina Baskett of [[Utah Red Rocks|Utah]] with a total score of 39.800.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.usagym.org/pages/post.html?PostID=2950&prog=c |title=Kupets wins all-around at 2009 NCAA women's gymnastics championships |date=April 16, 2009 |website=USA Gymnastics |access-date=2016-07-20 |archive-date=2016-08-15 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160815085623/https://www.usagym.org/pages/post.html?PostID=2950&prog=c |url-status=dead}}</ref> The next night, she helped Georgia win its fifth consecutive and tenth overall NCAA championship, posting a career-best 39.900. She scored perfect 10s on the uneven bars and vault, bringing her season total to seven and her career total to eight. In the individual event finals, she won the bars and beam titles (beating fellow Gym Dog and 2004 [[Olympic Games|Olympic]] teammate [[Courtney McCool]] on beam), tied to win floor, and placed third on vault, setting an NCAA record of nine individual titles to end her college career.

Kupets is the first NCAA gymnast ever to win the all-around and every individual event. On June 22, 2009, she was awarded the [[Honda-Broderick Cup]], which is given to the top female college athlete.<ref>[http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/G/GYM_HONDA_BRODERICK_CUP?SITE=ORLAG&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT Kupets named Honda-Broderick Cup winner.] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090628091603/http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/G/GYM_HONDA_BRODERICK_CUP?SITE=ORLAG&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT |date=June 28, 2009 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://usagym.org/pages/post.html?PostID=3453 |title=Kupets awarded Honda-Broderick Cup |website=USA Gymnastics |access-date=2020-03-21 |archive-date=2018-12-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181221112232/https://usagym.org/pages/post.html?PostID=3453 |url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://hondanews.com/en-US/releases/exciting-changes-announced-for-this-years-honda-broderick-cup-presentation-ceremony |title=Exciting Changes Announced For This Year's Honda-Broderick Cup Presentation Ceremony |date=April 28, 2010 |website=Honda Newsroom |language=en |access-date=2020-03-21}}</ref>
