    FX EF INQUIRY (Jordan Chiles Stripped Of Bronze Medal/USAG launches appeal) PART 2

    I am in my 30s and I train with teenagers twice a week and it is kind of crazy how you can adapt to their language and get used to teen personas etc. I imagine if you were surrounded by that all day everyday with very little external influence it would impact on how you act and your maturity...

    2025 worlds - tickets

    I’m thinking of going to worlds this year as it’s relatively close to me. Dumb question, but how do I find tickets and prices etc? I’ve only ever been to worlds in my own country before. I’ve had a look in the FIG website but couldn’t see anything other than dates and location and such. Any...

    Blakely and Wong Attending National Team Camp

    I just randomly watched a video about IMG. I did wonder how much academic school work they actually did because it didn’t seem like much! What do they expect kids to do if sports doesn’t work out for them? It’s very precarious to start with and to limit all these kids academically too seems...

    The Balance by Aimee Boorman

    Weightlifting is a fantastic sport for gymnasts to move on to. Strong (and good strength to weight ratio), good mobility, great body Awareness and generally very coachable. I’ve done the transition myself snd have seen several others also

    The Balance by Aimee Boorman

    I enjoyed it. A good read, but probably not worth $35. It would have been nice to get more info on training and coaching details as it felt like a lot of the training and competition was glossed over quite quickly. But I suppose the book would have been a lot longer then. Overall some good...

    Rebeca Andrade is no longer training for Jakarta (August 2025 update-taking time off)

    Hmmm maybe this is the news I needed to hear to make me look at going! Would be very cool to see her in person. I missed the boat on Simone it seems

    Fashion Fred Richard’s New Uniform At Winter Cup

    I also don’t really understand why people have such a go at the men wearing a leotard. Look at weightlifters and rowers. They wear essentially the same thing but it’s even more revealing as they don’t have the longs or shorts over the top. But I never seem to hear about them getting grief...
