Age Falsification in Chinese Gymnastics
Dr. Uncle Tim has taken a deep dive into age falsification in women’s gymnastics on his excellent site โ Gymnastics-History.com.
Age falsification was quite common back in the bad, old days. Especially in China and Romania.
In fact, we even had cases of falsification in lower levels of Gymnastics competition where I coached.
Check out the important post:

Feeding the Young Athlete
what keeps kids in Gymnastics?
Gymnastics Ireland interviewed some young ladies.
Everyone has ups and downs. The coach needs to step in when one of their gymnasts is in a down phase.

Teenage dropout amongst girls is a widespread issue in sport and in gymnastics, which if tackled, can support lifelong involvement in sport and physical activity to improve the lives of women & girls.
As a predominantly youth sport, Gymnastics presents a unique and powerful opportunity to help girls develop a strong love of sport and physical activity from a young age to nurture continued participation through adolescence and beyond to support their health, happiness and wellbeing into later life.
Through our research and beyond, we asked girls and women involved in our sport “What keeps you here?” – because what keeps you here matters to us.

But to everyone else theyโll be a consistent friend.
Theyโll never lack meaning.

They will always know love, and never feel they have to earn it.
Theyโll know their value is inherent, has nothing to do with their looks.

Theyโll be mothers one day if they so choose.
But their value wonโt be defined by the use of their wombs.
They will be whatever lives in their hearts.

My girls will know poetry and song.
They know I will listen when something feels wrong.
They will learn that โwomen are too emotionalโ is an original lie.
And they will not grow up with a father who refuses to cry.
So yeah,
My girls will make some weak men shake in their knees.

GAGE gymnasts to new Clubs
Lauren:
Last month, USA Gymnastics terminated GAGEโs membership effective immediately due to allegations that coaches were not complying with the terms of their suspensions tied to claims of abuse. The decision prevented its athletes from participating in meets sanctioned by the governing body, which of course includes every major elite competition in the country.
Because of this, gymnasts who trained at GAGE have started finding refuge in other programs, including first-year seniorย Lavi Crainย and her younger sister Vivi to World Champions Centre, Winter Cup competitors Annalisa Milton to Missouri Elite and Kaylee Sath to WOGA, and junior national team member Aulya Daniels to Liberty Gymnastics.

GAGE no longer USA Gymnastics club
One of the top U.S. Gymnastics clubs refused to stay in compliance with SafeSport guidelines.
What happens to the many excellent athletes from that Gym?
