USAG won’t buy Karolyi ranch

USA Gymnastics has backed out of its purchase of the Karolyi ranch and is exploring alternative sites to hold national team training camps. …

USA Gymnastics won’t buy famed Karolyi ranch after all

Symbolic change?

Whatever the reasons, I feel this is a good decision. The location is lousy. Too much travel time lost getting to and from Camp.

The Men’s training centre in Colorado Springs is much more central to the entire nation.

Valeri purchased property close to Karolyi ranch, I understand. He may want to sell now.

Update: wagrobanite points out that Colorado Springs is still not all that close to a major airport. Others are concerned that the high elevation could cause problems for arriving gymnasts.
