Gerben Wiersma (born 26 April 1977 in Surhuisterveen) is a Dutch artistic gymnastics coach. He was the coach of the KNGU women's national artistic gymnastics team.[1] Claims of physical and emotional abuse against players dating from the years before 2011 were leveled against multiple KNGU coaches in July 2021, including Wiersma.[2] After first being acquitted, he was found guilty of charges in October 2021 without being penalized. He already had decided to resign from his position as coach, however.[3] In 2022 he was appointed national coach of the women selection by the German artistic gymnastics federation.
