Meet Peter Vidmar
Peter Vidmar is a powerful and entertaining
speaker at corporate meetings and trade
shows. With over 2 decades of experience
helping people throughout the country to
realize their own potential, Peter does much
more than just speak about his experiences.
In his inspiring, humorous, and energetic
presentations, he actually performs world
class gymnastics on the pommel horse to
drive home his message of Risk, Originality
and Virtuosity (ROV) - and discusses how
they apply to success in business and in
life. His message brings something unique
and refreshing to the corporate arena.
Peter Vidmar is the highest scoring American
gymnast in Olympic history. The winner of
numerous national and international titles,
Peter finished his successful career at the
1984 Olympic Games. As the USA men's
gymnastics team captain, he led his
teammates to America's first team gold medal
with their stunning upset victory over the
defending world champions, the People's
Republic of China. He went on to win the
silver medal in the individual all-around
competition (the first American to have ever
won an Olympic All-Around medal), and with a
perfect score of 10, he captured the gold
medal on the pommel horse.
Peter is a
leader in the Olympic movement today. He is
the Chairman of the Board of USA Gymnastics,
the national governing body of gymnastics in
the United States. He has served as a US Olympic
Ambassador, and as the Co-Chairman of the US
Olympic Committee Summer Sports Summit, an
annual series of workshops designed to
prepare America's medal hopefuls to win Gold
in future Olympics.
Peter has worked for
many years as the gymnastics commentator for
CBS Sports and ESPN and continues to work as
a journalist or broadcaster at each summer
Olympics. Peter has served on the
President's Council on Physical Fitness &
Sports, the Executive Board of the United
States Olympic Committee, and the Executive
Committee of USA Gymnastics. He was
appointed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
to serve as Vice Chair of the California
Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness &
