Peter Vidmar continues to contribute to the Olympic movement today. He is the Chairman of the Board of USA Gymnastics, the national governing body of gymnastics in the United States. Peter Vidmar has also served 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. He serves as a USOC Olympic Ambassador, helping to prepare all of America's athletes on working with the media and to represent the United States with character and respect. Peter Vidmar has worked as the gymnastics commentator for CBS Sports and ESPN. He continues to work as a journalist, broadcaster, and corporate spokesperson at each summer Olympics.

Peter Vidmar 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 the Vice Chair of the California Governor's Council on Physical Fitness & Sports and is the Vice President of the Southern California Committee for the Olympic Games.

Peter Vidmar is one of only three athletes inducted into the US Olympic Hall of Fame twice; first as an individual, then as a member of the historic 1984 USA men's gymnastics team. He has also been inducted into the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame and The UCLA Athletic Hall of Fame.
