A series of coaching events Down Under went well.
Dark and intense. Sia’s latest features child dancers including Maddie Ziegler. It’s something of a tribute to the 49 shooting victims in Orlando last June.

Four years ago they had a Tumbl Trak Air Floor Pro under the tumbling diagonal of the Floor. That worked well. I hope they have something similar this time around.

Adriana Forde:
Our 2016 meet will once again feature an USAIGC qualifier for all USAIGC members striving towards the 2017 National/ World Championships at the end of June 2017. After the feedback from last year, we are excited to announce that we are also holding separate competitions for both USAG Boy and USAG Girl competitors across the same weekend.
I’m planning to be there on an FIG Coach Education assignment. 🙂
Nicolae Forminte again Head Coach.
Instead of moving forward into the future this looks to be an attempt to return to past greatness. I hope it works. But a small nation like Romania most likely needs centralized training.

A Georgia judge ruled on Monday that sexual abuse complaint files compiled by USA Gymnastics should be released to the public, offering a look into the Olympic organization’s policies for handling child abuse.
The ruling, by Judge Ronald K. Thompson in Effingham County State Court, was celebrated as a victory by some former gymnasts who were victims of sex abuse. USA Gymnastics opposed release of the documents.
USA Gymnastics said it plans to appeal the ruling …
The judge said he is concerned about protecting the privacy of innocent parties, including victims and their families. Their names and medical records will be redacted. The names of coaches who have not been convicted of a crime also will be redacted. Thompson said the court will redact the files and open them to the public by Sept. 30.
If you want more on that story listen to GymCastic episode 220. Jessica O’Beirne has been following the issue closely.
