Gymnastics called ‘legal child abuse’

Michiel de Hoog writes about sport for De Correspondent in Netherlands.

Though no Gymnastics expert, de Hoog put together a very damning article on the culture of elite women’s Gymnastics.

Best read it for yourself.

Women’s gymnastics has a decades-old, reform-resistant culture of abuse. It’s hard to see a solution when child abuse isn’t an exception in women’s gymnastics – it’s the logical consequence.

Why women’s gymnastics is legal child abuse

Onodi / Mostepanova on Beam

Everyone loves the skill named after Henrietta Ónodi.  A fantastic gymnast who competed 1992 and 1996 Olympics, winning medals.

Henrietta Onodi called the Onodi on Beam the “Mostepanova” because she’d seen Olga compete it first.
