Joscelyn Michelle Roberson (born February 8, 2006) is an American artistic gymnast and member of the USA national gymnastics team. She was a member of the gold medal winning team at the 2023 World Championships.
Roberson was born to Jeffrey and Ashley Roberson in 2006 in Texarkana, Texas. [1]
Roberson competed at the 2021 Winter Cup where she placed second behind Ella Kate Parker in the all-around, first on balance beam, and third on floor exercise in the junior division. [2] She next competed at the U.S. Classic where she placed fifth. At the National Championships Roberson placed fourth in the all-around, first on balance beam, and second on vault. As a result, she was named as the alternate to the team for the Junior Pan American Championships. [3]
Roberson became age-eligible for senior competition in 2022. She made her senior debut at the 2022 Winter Cup where she placed first on vault. She next competed at the U.S. Classic and the National Championships. [4] In October Roberson verbally committed to compete for the Arkansas Razorbacks, starting in the 2024–25 season. [5]
Roberson began the year competing at the 2023 Winter Cup where she placed first on vault and second on balance beam and floor exercise. A sub-par uneven bars performance resulted in a sixth place all-around finish. [6] As a result, Roberson was added to the senior national team for the first time and was selected to compete at the DTB Pokal Team Challenge alongside Lexi Zeiss, Zoe Miller, Nola Matthews, and Ashlee Sullivan. Together they finished first as a team and Roberson qualified to the vault and floor exercise event finals. She won gold on vault and silver on floor exercise behind Júlia Soares of Brazil. [7] Due to her performance in Stuttgart, Roberson was selected to compete at the Cairo World Cup in April where she won gold on vault and floor as well as a silver on balance beam. [8] [9]
Following the Cairo World Cup Roberson was named to the team to compete at the Pan American Championships alongside Zoe Miller, Addison Fatta, Tiana Sumanasekera, Nola Matthews, and traveling replacement athlete Madray Johnson. [10] During the Pan American Championships she won gold on floor and silver on balance beam and vault. [11] During the team final Roberson contributed on vault, balance beam, and floor exercise towards the USA's first place finish. [12]
In September Roberson was selected to represent the United States at the 2023 World Championships alongside Simone Biles, Skye Blakely, Shilese Jones, Leanne Wong, and alternate Kayla DiCello. [13] During qualifications she competed on vault and floor exercise to help the USA qualify to the team final in first place and individually she qualified to the vault final. She was expected to once again compete on vault and floor exercise during the team final; however while warming up on vault she injured her ankle and was unable to compete. Despite this the USA still won their seventh consecutive World team title. [14] Due to the injury Roberson withdrew from the vault final. [15]
In November Roberson signed her National Letter of Intent with the Arkansas Razorbacks. [16]
Roberson made her return to competition at the American Classic, but she only competed on uneven bars and balance beam. She made her return to the all-around at the Core Hydration Classic where she finished twelfth. At the National Championships Roberson placed tenth in the all-around and fourth on floor exercise. As a result she qualified to the Olympic Trials. [17]
At the Olympic trials, she placed sixth in the all-around, fourth on vault, tenth on uneven bars, first on balance beam, and fourth on floor, and was named an alternate for Team USA at the 2024 Summer Olympics. [18]
