who won the Bronze medal on Floor at the Paris Olympics?

Ana Bărbosu? Jordan Chiles? Sabrina Voinea?

According to Vonk, a lot of what defined his time in college gymnastics wasn’t reflected in the polished version of the sport that fans and recruits see.

Epstein to Larry Nassar FAKE letter

When first seeing the letter I assumed it was fake. And it was.
