The article *I Was Sexually Abused As an Olympic Athlete Too. We Can End This Epidemic* sheds light on the pervasive issue of sexual abuse in elite sports, recounting the personal experience of an Olympic athlete who endured such trauma. It explores the systemic failures within sports organizations, where a culture of silence and prioritization of achievements over athletes’ well-being allows abuse to persist. The author advocates for a shift in priorities, urging for transparency, accountability, and survivor-centered reforms to ensure the safety of athletes. Through this compelling narrative, the article underscores the urgent need to dismantle the structures enabling abuse and to build a supportive environment where athletes can thrive without fear.
