The ex-coaches of Simone Biles have been given two national teams this week lol

 

[Matilda23]

Maybe we’ll see more USA coaches leaving for Europe

 

[Passion]

She's coaching the elites that train in Stuttgart (not the entire National team) for the next five months. The Stuttgart gym has been without coaches since January after accusations of abuse. Seems like Boorman is a stopgap until they can find permanent replacements.

 

[RedBirdie]

Interesting. She was just assigned to judge the April US national team camp and Jesolo. Presumably she'd also judge US Classic and Nationals (haven't been assigned yet).

I heard that Sarah Korngold is going to be doing some coaching in GB

 

[irichluck21]

Seems like Boorman is the go to as a "substitute" coach. She helped coach the Dutch team in 2021 Olympics and Worlds and 2022 Euros (IIRC) wasn't that due to coaching allegations against the Wevers' father/coach?

Don’t think I’ve heard that word since the 2003 British Championships.

Yes they haven’t really had anyone since Rebecca Mason. Jennifer Pinches was there for a few months in between The Academy and City of Liverpool. Since then they’ve had some decent age group gymnasts who’ve gone onto other clubs, such as Charlie Fellows. But I’ve no idea why Korngold would be doing clinics there of all places

Think Mabelle Dawson was there too at some point. They have had coach changes recently but thought they had someone permanent in now so that is interesting. A lot of their girls left I think. They have a fabulous gym set up. I believe they are randomly funded by an on line betting company. They def have money to attract coaches and clinics.

I know they held an Olympic control camp (due to their set up). However they only seem to have one elite gymnast who competed at Welsh champs

To me it always says "need a wee while on the M6 northbound".
