more accusations against Dr. Larry Nassar

Ingham County Prosecuting Attorney Gretchen Whitmer said a “handful” of people who say they were victims of a Michigan State University doctor have contacted her since an article was published Monday detailing the accounts of two women who allege the doctor sexually abused them.

“As soon as publicity was given to this, more people have reached out,” she said.

Michigan State University police also have received additional complaints …

Congratulations.

Valeri Liukin replaces Martha Karolyi

As expected. Congratulations Valeri.

“We are at the highest level there is,” said Liukin. “It’s not going to be easy – it shouldn’t be – but I have been a part of this team for many years in one way or another. I have been at The Ranch since 1999 and have coached several generations of national team members. I know the drill. I grew up in that system as a gymnast, and I’ve raised my athletes in that same system, too.” …

Valeri will oversee his first national team camp at the Karolyi Ranch in Texas starting Sept. 28. While Nastia said that many of the athletes will have to get used to seeing a new face in charge at camp, Valeri said it will be business as usual as the 2020 quad officially kicks off. …

Elena Davydova interview

Davydova, owner and head coach of the renowned gymnastics club in Oshawa, recently returned from her third trip to an Olympic Games for the sport, this time in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Oshawa’s Elena Davydova an Olympian in every sense of the word

Elena is currently in Bolivia. She has two girls at the PanAm meet. And may be judging, as well. 🙂

She’s running for FIG WTC in the upcoming election to be held in Tokyo. I’d vote for her.
