Carissa Gump (née Gordon) (born August 24, 1983 in Stone Ridge, New York) is an American weightlifter.[1] She is a multiple-time American record holder, a five-time consecutive American Open champion (2002–2006), and a resident athlete of the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado.[2] She is also the wife of Jason Gump, a competitive weightlifter who placed fifth for the 94 kg class at the 2003 Pan American Games in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.[3]


Gump represented the United States at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where she competed for the women's middleweight category (63 kg), along with her teammate Natalie Woolfolk. Gump placed fourteenth in this event, as she successfully lifted 88 kg in the single-motion snatch, and hoisted 116 kg in the two-part, shoulder-to-overhead clean and jerk, for a total of 204 kg.[4][5]
