Any update on this? My jaw actually dropped when I read that other girl stomped on your daughter's injured foot. I would be LIVID! I had a similar situation. My daughter was being bullied by a boy pretty consistently. One day, after school as she was walking over to the High school, he...

I like most of the changes. Now, I *really* want to see videos with the choreography!

I'm glad that Haney was suspended for so long. Still concerned about the number of coaches that have NOT had hearings yet, most notably John Geddert. Seriously, why has he not had to answer for anything yet???

In Xcel, it is top 8 regardless of age (for R5).

One of my daughters loves watching gym with me... she cuddles up on the couch with me to watch Friday Night Heights, etc. The other one will watch for a few minutes, then play on her phone or go up to her room for some down time. Different kids, different likes, different gymnasts, different...

Nope. We’re used to driving an hour to gym. Lol

I love coaching preschoolers! They are adorable and the best part is that they get to learn to love the sport from you! Our gym limits the 3 year old classes to 6 students per coach, and the 4 & 5 year old classes to 7 students per coach. Even our teenage rec classes are capped at 10 or 12, I...

The timing on this is the most ridiculous and preposterous thing I've ever seen. Most L9 and L10 gymnasts are going to the gym, what 21-24 hours a week or more? And we all know gymnasts tend to be great students who take difficult classes. The USOC thought, hmmm.... 2 days in the middle of...

The half on, half off is really popular in Xcel.

I think Chaco only makes flip flops in the adult sizes. The kid sizes are just the regular sandals.

For kids, Birkenstock (Gizeh for cork based; Gizeh Essential for the waterproof/eva one). As an adult, I love the Aetrex flip flops. They are seriously the best, most comfortable flip flop I have ever worn. They basically took the Lynco orthotics and put a flip flop on top of it.

Agreed. Ditto!!!

Our gym will be getting new leos next year, and I hope they are not getting GK. We had GK, switched to Dreamlight, and now of course we will have to get new ones again. Fingers crossed that they are not going back to GK.

Same here. I would be really upset at spending so much money for my kid to stand around. She can stand around at home for free!

FWIW, Greg has said that he was wrong, and that it wasn’t fair to Megan or her teammates.

I think it's like that in every sport, every activity, every school, every place of worship, every camp, etc, etc. Unfortunately, wherever there are kids, there will also be predators. :( Just putting them in a different sport or activity or anything else isn't going to protect them.

Why was Laurent spotting Ragan and Kara on bars (instead of their own coaches)?

I have no idea, but it was so extra and I love him for it.

I think most coaches feel more comfortable coaching yuri's because that's what they did. And it is easier to build on a yuri vs building onto a tsuk, i.e. adding half twists. Especially since the goal for most coaches who are coaching L10/college hopefuls is to get them to do Y1.5s by the time...

Ha, SAME! I'm hoping maybe she didn't do a 2nd vault because she doesn't want to mess up her TTY up by doing an Amanar. You know, keep things consistent. I know it's unlikely, but I want her to get both vaults named this year at Worlds.
