I had wanted to attach this post to the thread that just got locked. But...it got locked. It does seem like it wasn't the only abuse thread, though.
Kim Zmeskal Burdette, the gymnast that got me into watching this sport, has been called out by Ashton Kim, a long-time former elite at Kim and Chris' gym, Texas Dreams. Looks like she's gone through a massive list of injuries by any standard, and been subject to vicious yelling and racial abuse by them both. And it's becoming a pretty long thread, here, and there's one on Reddit as well.
I really looked up to her growing up. I wonder what all happened? I wonder what her parents were really like (I've seen a fluff documentary that had them. It made them seem great, like she was, with reason, in control.
I guess Google this if you don't have Twitter.
