SUGIHARA Aiko is age-25. She was the 2015 Asian team and all-around champion. This must be a first in WAG.
This time, China won the team competition.
I feel each sporting organization should set their own qualification rules.
Transgender athletes should have equal rights to participate. But they might be added to the male or female competitions, depending on the sport.
In coed sports where men and women compete directly against one another, it wouldn’t matter.
Certainly politicians are the worst possible people to decide sport qualification rules. Rather than look at what’s fair, they’ll politicize the issue.
All kinds of right wing politicians worldwide have never met a transgender person, but find they can get hateful people to vote for them if they take a stance against.
Simone regrets she engaged with some historically unimportant athlete who’s merely trying to get attention.
We should all support the rights of transgender athletes to get the chance to compete. While severely ignoring trolls.
As they stand now, I’m strongly for everyone boycotting the proposed Enhanced Games.
Hopefully it won’t be financially feasible. Who’s going to pay for another multi-sport Games?
They plan to include Gymnastics — which is surprising as our sport has had so little doping compared with others.
Without question, some athletes will suffer health complications and possibly even death as they try to out-dope competitors.

Of course, keeping your arms wide makes twisting more difficult and slower — but it certainly is stylish. 😀

WHO is making decisions at that school?
Despite the debacle with the coach, Fisk has been a fantastic success story.
Fisk plans to discontinue its women’s gymnastics program following the conclusion of the 2026 season, according to an email sent Friday afternoon. The news was later confirmed to College Gym News by a former member of the team.
The announcement comes just three years after Fisk made history by launching the first-ever HBCU women’s gymnastics team. In the email, the university cited challenges with aligning the program to its athletics structure, noting gymnastics is not a sanctioned sport within the HBCU Athletic Conference (HBCUAC), making scheduling and recruiting increasingly difficult.
The decision follows a period of significant transition for Fisk. The program’s founding head coach, Corrinne Tarver, departed earlier this year, and the university has been under financial strain, including delays in FAFSA processing that left many students uncertain about their financial aid. Nashville’s Metro Council stepped in last summer with $500,000 in emergency funding to support Fisk’s operations. …
