U of Alaska Anchorage UPDATE
There’s still hope.
Interim Coach Marie-Sophie Boggasch confirms that University of Alaska Anchorage Gymnastics will be saved if $888,000 (half in cash, half in pledges) is raised by February 15, 2021.
The Collegiate Gymnastics Growth Initiative / Women’s Collegiate Gymnastics Association organized a GoFundMe: charity.gofundme.com/saveuaagymnastics
On that site, there are a couple other links that can take people to the pledge form (ideally we only have to raise half of the amount if everyone could potentially contribute the same via a pledge for next year) and also to UAA directly for donations of $1,000 or more.
About our program:
– Consistently volunteers the highest amount of hours among any UAA athletic team (last year: 554h between 18 team members)
– 2019-2020 team GPA: 3.64
– Several first-generation college students
– Broke 21 school records in the last 2 seasons

Defying Gravity – part 5
This is the criminal doctor episode.
Kathy Johnson is always good. But it’s Dominique who’s most eloquent of many gymnasts interviewed.
Jordyn Wieber too. She recalls that the Ranch was closed the day after Simone said she didn’t want to go back to the place of all that sexual abuse.
Olga Korbut calls her former coach a monster.
In part five of our documentary series, survivors of abuse describe the culture that allowed a USA Gymnastics physician and many dozens of other coaches and officials to take advantage of athletes, and explain how they’re using their voices and the life skills that gymnastics taught them to reclaim their sport.

I was worried this first FIG meet might be a disaster.
But … so far, so good.
European Championships is planned for December in Turkey. Not all nations will participate due to COVID-19 so it won’t qualify anyone for the Olympics.
