This is the first I am hearing about Mykayla apologizing for the 2016 situation. All I remember is a rather noncommittal tweet that most of the gymternet took issue with. And there have been lots of opportunities for her to really address it. Then when you take her father’s awful comments about...

I can’t imagine forcing a 15-year-old to spend the next few years of their life on a sport they are no longer interested in. It is completely ridiculous. And it absolutely does not compare to asking them to finish out the season. When they’re just finishing out the season, you are giving them...

Mustafina forever and always. Also Morgan Hurd and Melanie DJDS

I am pretty sure Zoe Gravier, etc left for First State because they had filed complaints about Maggie. I really don't see families who have supported Maggie so far wanting to join them at First State. Huge potential for drama especially for the higher-level gymnasts. I hope First State takes...

EIGHT YEARS! Wow, definitely didn't expect that. Funny enough, last night I was watching a YouTube video from about 7 years ago of Laurie on bars at an elite competition. She fell twice and the way Maggie acted... if looks could kill. The first comment was something along the lines of 'Nice...

We all have to eat. Some people have to go to work. Those are essential activities. No matter how you look at it, sports practice simply doesn't count as an essential activity, especially if you're not on track for the Olympics next year. To me the science is pretty clear: don't underestimate...

I am pretty surprised to see people in this thread saying they would send their kids in for small-group practices if the gyms would let them. Elite or not, it's simply not worth it. Even Simone is home.

Wow. There was literally nothing condescending in that post. Way to blow things out of proportion. Edit: I see that has already been covered.

The entire twitter account seems to be gone. Here's a screenshot:

Apparently Olivia's mother had this to say:

And Rhonda is testifying for Maggie even though she's the person Laurie reported Maggie's abuse to in 2016. Conflict of interest? Nah. /s

I am rooting for the Blakeley sisters. I don't know if the younger one is eligible though. And also Leanne Wong.

In their defence, the Bjerkens never spoke about her nomination, linked to it or tried to get people to vote for Whitney. I think they knew that she didn't compete enough to deserve to be nominated. It's just the fans who think she's the next Simone Biles. Whitney herself never acts like she's...

'Tons of kids out there' within the context of how many gymnasts will actually make elite. I would agree with you if Sydney had a couple more years as a junior but she doesn't. Morris placed 13th AA out of 24 gymnasts competing, so slightly below the middle. And that was her having a great day...

I think that Whitney Bjerken is the most popular. She is very clean and has loads of potential on beam but is not there with difficulty on the other events because of being out for a year due to elbow issues. It's hard to say about her right now but depending on how lucky she is injury and...

Currently watching the verification livestream and it's certainly not living up to expectations. I am getting the feeling that the gymnasts got to opt out of having their routines streamed and with the exception of Margzetta, Jordan Bowers and a couple of others, most of them took that option...

The winds of change!
