    Let’s do my RUSADA homework together

    These screenshots are really interesting and are making me wonder what the equivalent is like (or if it even exists) in other countries. Good to see that athlete education starts early.

    Chalked Up: Inside Elite Gymnastics' Merciless Coaching, Overzealous Parents, Eating Disorders, and Elusive Olympic Dreams

    That’s a great idea. I’d be fascinated to know what Ashley (the young gymnast doing TOPS testing on a broken ankle) and her parents think about it now.

    That sounds fascinating and I expect it’s cathartic to write.

    Agreed. I treasure his reactions to the team medals in Glasgow. I also miss Barry a lot. I keep meaning to write him a fan letter but have never got round to it.

    2025 Worlds in Review

    I’m also a sci-fi geek and I remember being excited that they postponed Star Trek Voyager for gymnastics worlds.

    Agreed. If you’d told her 13th in the world and two EF at the start of the year (or 30/9 as RedBirdie points out), she’d have taken that in a heartbeat.

    Definitely another case in point, though I think I found her not making the Athens EF harder to bear. On topic: thats a tough run of EF placings for SMV. I hope she uses this as fuel to improve and medals in the future.

    One of those moments where I want to tell teenage RAFIKI not to be so upset about Mason coming 4th on FX at Euros because there will be much to celebrate in the future.

    I’m discombobulated that I use the same words as Heap (Wowser!).

    Caylor’s beam dance looks better each time I see it. She’s gaining in presence.
