I am deeply privileged to assume the role of Master of Ceremonies for the esteemed inaugural induction ceremony of the College Gymnastics Associations Hall of Fame. As a kid, I could never have imagined standing in this position, tasked with inducting icons into the revered
This woman managed to rediscover her love for gymnastics despite USAG ostracizing her in ‘98, in the face of being blacklisted for over a decade & regardless of stomaching innumerable insults from the keyboard warriors. Living proof that deep scars can indeed heal ❤️
😱 You mean to tell me that U.S. Women’s Gymnastics can be dominant without Marta & the Karolyi Ranch?! Hearty congratulations to the women of Team USA 🇺🇸 & their respective coaches🥇

25 years ago today 🎈 1995 — Thirteen-year-old Dominique Moceanu becomes the youngest to win the National Gymnastics Championships senior women’s all-around title in New Orleans.

Come on, really? Probably just another “minor oversight” to add to the decade-long list. As you continue to do things like this, it looks like you’re trying to undermine Dominique’s contributions to the sport. It may not bother her, but it bothers me 🤦🏻♂️
“Marta, Did you keep Larry around b/c he was a good doctor or did you really keep him around b/c he let us compete when we were injured and was willing to keep your secrets?” -Mattie Larson
“Her role in breaking an industrywide silence about the abusive methods of longtime coaches Bela & Martha Karolyi later led her to a central role in supporting the survivors of Larry Nassar's sexual abuse.” Thank you

“I confided to Dominique Moceanu what Larry had done to me. Her response gave me the confidence and courage to act: she said she believed me and that I needed to report Nassar.” -Jamie Dantzscher
8/18 was a historic day in American 🇺🇸 gymnastics history. Paul Hamm became the 1st US man to win the Olympic All-Around (’04) &
@Dmoceanu
became the youngest US Champion at age 13 (’95). These moments deserve just as much remembrance as other moments
@USAGym
posts.
Inmate Nassar witnessed abuse by Geddert, the Karolyis, & others. Rather than report it—he made use of the abuse to satisfy his own spineless, perverse cravings. Revolting & sinister on all levels.
Coach of the Year in ‘10 held on counts of child molesting & sexual misconduct w/minor. Team doc for 4 Olympics sentenced to decades for child porn & sexually assault. ‘12 Olympic Team Head Coach under criminal investigation. Károlyi Ranch under investigation by TX Rangers.
Simply put, Steve Penny’s perceived success at USA Gymnastics was built on the backs of young women he failed to protect. He is an unadulterated coward and crook.

Glad Li Li is speaking to NBC about the coverage of gymnastics. I’d ❤️ to see more routines, but where was the outrage when the gymnasts where dehumanized & TV time was squandered when NBC solely built the production around what Marta Karolyi “liked” 🤷🏻♂️
#GymTrials21
“Her outspokenness cost her dearly. She was ostracized from the sport for a decade & accused of seeking money & attention. Yet her role as one of the few former athletes who defied the Karolyis' grip on U.S. gymnastics ultimately led others to trust her w/their truth.”

Jessica Howard has been sticking up for athletes long before the Nassar scandal broke.

"part of what enabled this is John broke little girls' spirits and bodies, and Larry was there to fix them." One can replace “John” w/ any number of bad actors in the gymnastics community.
It was the Mag 7’s night on July 23rd, 1996—still let’s not forget the sheer number of legends who were on competition floor that evening in Atlanta.
