Julissa D’anne Gomez (November 4 1972 – August 8 1991) was an American gymnast whose rapid rise through the ranks of elite gymnastics in the mid-1980s was cut short by a vaulting accident in 1988 that left her quadriplegic. Her injury sparked major changes to the vaulting discipline of women’s gymnastics with the goal of preventing such serious injuries.
