Rebecca Whitehurst, who was on Team USA from 1995-1997, is the first victim to file suit against the International Federation of Gymnastics.
I’m no lawyer, but it seems to me FIG is quite far distant from the crimes of the USA National Team doctor.
The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) is getting ready to launch a new website that includes content about abuse and harassment. Athletes and officials will be able to initiate abuse allegations. …
“Of course there is some damage, but now we know what was happening, thanks to the gymnasts’ testimonies.
By knowing the facts, we can try to make improvements.
We cannot change the past, but we can create the future. The gymnasts’ voices have changed that future,” Watanabe tells Around the Rings.
We can expect gymnasts from nations with lax reporting standards to make use of the FIG programs. In future.
“The Gymnasts and Their Allies” are some of the World’s 50 Greatest Leaders over the past year.
When the sentencing trial of Larry Nassar began, few people knew the former USA Gymnastics doctor’s name, much less the details of his crimes.
Then, the young women he sexually assaulted—more than 150 of them—told their stories.
Their seven days of harrowing testimony shook the world of sports and beyond. Nassar was sentenced to up to 175 years in prison. The president of Michigan State University, Nassar’s former employer, resigned, as did the board of USA Gymnastics and the CEO of the U.S. Olympic Committee.
As Olympian Aly Raisman said, “We are here, we have our voices, and we are not going anywhere.”
Aliya is not only back, she qualified for 3 apparatus finals in Russian Championships qualifications.
