Jeanette Antolin (born October 5, 1981 in Paradise, California) is a retired American elite gymnast. Antolin was on the United States national gymnastics team from 1995 to 2000, although she began competing internationally for the US in 1994. In 1997, she was the alternate for the team competing at the World Championships in Lausanne, Switzerland. 2 years later, she competed at the 1999 World Championships in Tianjin, China, after finishing 2nd in the all-around at the World Team Trials in Kansas City. She placed 6th in the team final. Jeanette's best event was undisputedly the Uneven Bars. She was one of the first to compete a layout jaeger, that is now valued as an F. She also competed a double front pike 1/2 dismount off the bars, but it is unknown if she ever submitted it for naming. The skill ended up named after Tunde Pentek in 2003. She retired from elite gymnastics in 2000 after competing at the Spieth Sogipa Cup in Brazil, helping the US to a first place win in the team competition. Antolin later joined the UCLA gymnastics team, and by 2004 she had scored 14 perfect 10s, won six All-American honors, three Pac-10 individual titles and five NCAA regional titles. Jeanette is the 10th gymnast to have scored the most perfect 10s in her NCAA career in history. She was coached by Don Peters and trained at SCATS in Huntington Beach.
