The 'no complaints for months' line is wild. It definitely insinuates they've had complaints that they have ignored.

Mizzou looking good but they are getting that SEC home scoring treatment.

I dont understand the crystal cluster on the stomach of the Iowa one but I like the rest of it.

LSU looked great on bars but I wasn't convinced on their floor or vault yet. They will need a lot of improvement in a week if they want to win the Sprouts meet. Utah easily the best at their meet. Overall, looking very solid and much improved on vault compared to this time last year. I enjoyed...

So happy it's finally back.

You think you know what happened. Unless you were in the room for very interaction, every training session, every private meeting, viewed every digital piece of communication between the parties, had direct insight directly from both parities about their thoughts and motivations, you couldn't...

There has to be people willing to believe the people who are aggrieved. If we don't at least listen with an open mind to what people with bad experiences have to say, we will never improve the environments that need improved and abuse will be able to continue to happen. And no expereince is...

I dont think it takes away from others abuse at all. Everything happens on a scale. These examples of hostile environments are still harmful for the person experiencing them and it's good to acknowledge that. We shouldn't just dismiss it because it's lesser than what others have expereince.

Let them continue at their normal coaching position if you must but they should not be appointed to a higher, national positions after an investigation has started on them. Thats why companies need 'no fault step down policies' to prevent situations like this arising. Especially when it's...

How was Armine allowed to be Junior World's coach while she was under investigation?

If it is set up like last time, the streaming app also worked well for watching it on demand or replays. It was free and worked with a VPN for people outside Australia.

And thats a different conversation then the difficulty one. The judges should be applying the code correctly.

But who says it shouldn't? You? The written rules for this branch of the sports says they can score the same because it's not about who is doing the hardest gymnasts but about who is doing the best executed skills. Elite exists for those who want to watch difficultly focused routines.

Sometimes I think the perception of what is 'easy' is off. Most athletes are competing the top range of the skills they can safety perform on a regular basis. That should be the focus when determining what level is appropriate for NCAA, not the 1% who are former elites and can do more.

Completely agree, particularly about the elite part. The vast majority of these athletes are lvl10s and the code should reflect that. I am all for making the requirements slightly harder so it matches the lvl10 code or requiring extra skills in routines that can be a lower difficulty but make...
