Is this report on Becky’s behavior (IMO it’s the last conversation topic in this thread) a change?

No. For most of Becky’s career she has had a stable coach and club. I’d say it changed post 2021

I’m sure at least for some of them, it is the fact that Becky (and her sister) spoke out about abusive practices at British Gymnastics, which was not well received by many coaches.

If I remember correctly, Becky and Ellie’s complaints related to British Gymnastics as an organisation and not anyone who had personally coached them.

What do you mean by “wasn’t well received by many coaches”?

I was asking because she didn’t appear to have a reputation as being trouble. l think we saw with USAG that lone and early reporters of abuse aren’t well received.
