How the Delta Variant Tore Through an Undervaxxed Gymnastics Center

Gymnastics Clubs have had very low risk of COVID outbreak, overall.

Discipline. Compliance. A need to protect kids.

On the other hand, Oklahoma has had comparatively low rates of vaccination. 13 people from the Club who came down with the virus who were eligible.

Even now fewer than half of Oklahoma citizens have had one dose. They don’t have herd protection with those numbers.

USAG MAG Team funding

Though the American men’s team Olympic selection was slightly less controversial and slightly more transparent than WAG, it was still criticized.

For one thing, FUNDING didn’t align with team selection they way you would have expected.

With Men’s NCAA in decline … AND questionable support for the Men’s National team, you have to be concerned for future competitiveness of the U.S. Men’s team.

Riley McCusker on Arizona Sunrays

Recall Riley injured her ankle at the U.S. Classic. On competition Vault landing mats, where so many major injuries happen.

… I want to thank Brian from the bottom of my heart for showing me what it was like to be treated with kindness and respect everyday.

Because of this I will never let anyone treat or abuse me the way I was for years, he has helped me become a whole person.

He is also an incredible coach and before I hurt my ankle at classics I was doing things on floor and vault that I never thought possible for me.

My main motivation for this last year and a half while training with Brian Carey was to show all of the little gymnasts and athletes out there that you can still become the best athlete that you can be in a healthy environment. …

I didn’t have a vote. But my pick for the +one U.S. Olympic team would have been Riley. She hit 5/6 Bars routines this season and would have been a favourite for the Bars final, if not the podium.

If you want a deep dive into WHY the USA didn’t pick Riley as an alternate, listen to the June 30th GymCastic episode – Olympic Trials Party and Postmortem.
