Dwight Normile doesn’t post often.
But when he does, I read every word. And agree with every word.

OK, there’s one point on which I might take exception:
Danell Leyva, Yin Alvarez/USA: Keep doing what you’re doing. I’ll take a coach who hugs over one that scolds any day. Yin, I realize people think your sideline contortions are a distraction, but they are unique and entertaining. And anything that enlivens the crowd at a men’s gymnastics meet is a good thing.
I do find Yin distracting. But I’m slowly being won over. He’s become an iconic character, almost like Bela Karolyi. Larger than life.
