Sean Golden (born June 13, 1983) is a former American artistic gymnast and member of the United States men's national artistic gymnastics team.
Golden was born as the youngest of six children to Patricia and Ron Golden, a police officer, and raised in Camden, New Jersey.[1][2] Golden was introduced to gymnastics at four years old as an outlet for his energy after he fell in love with the sport after watching it on television.[1][3] He quickly advanced within gymnastics, eventually being coached by Macey Watson.[1] He was the 1994 New Jersey state champion on the floor routine and finished third in the state all-around in 1996 via a second-place finish on the floor and third-place finishes on the rings and vault.[2]
Golden attended Camden High School and graduated in 2001.[1][4] He later attended Camden County College, but dropped out of the latter to focus on gymnastics training and joined his former coach Watson in Florida.[1][4]
