What happened to Bullock on UB? She's capable of scoring in the 14s; it's a little surprising she didn't qualify for finals.

So they didn't want to deal with the actual issue and instead decided to flip the kill switch?

Those little oyster kid mascots are cute! I kind of want a plushie.

Unfortunately for Sabrina, she's stuck in the proverbial rock and a hard place. On one side are the Voinea sycophants who are happy to look the other way. On the other side are the ones who bear the brunt of the bullying and violence from the Voinea camp and probably don't sympathize much with...

This was what I was thinking would be the best course of action. Why not allow the team members who didn't qualify (or were 2pered out) for individual events to compete in the mixed group and give them a shot at another medal?

And of course there's Imke Glas who broke her neck on vault and it was thought she wouldn't walk again, but she made a full recovery (though she was a literal child at the time).

Here in the States, football, soccer, basketball, hockey, and baseball are the "manly" sports. Even though NFL players take ballet lessons to improve their agility, balance, and functional leg strength, ballet and most forms of dance are still seen as purely "feminine," and some men get real...
