coach Eric Harrison to prison
French / American Gymnastics coach Eric Harrison was sentenced to 2 years in prison with 1 year suspended.
Amongst his other crimes, he had a video camera in the locker room in Guise, France. It looks like a pen.
Harrison edited the website Gymnet.org, now gone from the internet. We’ve deleted all links to Gymnet.org from this site, as well.
I want to thank a member of the former Gymnet forum for alerting us to this criminal.

Kristian Thomas on Zika
Olympic bronze medallist gymnast Kristian Thomas told BBC Sport: “We were over there in February for a training camp and we followed all the advice from the doctors, the BOA (British Olympic Association) and British Gymnastics and we were all fine.
“I think we’ve just got to make sure we’re on top of this and following the guidelines, make sure we’re protecting ourselves and each other …”
I was in Rio for 17 days in April and saw only 3 mosquitos. There will be fewer during the Olympics.
The risk of Zika infection is far lower than the risk of getting into a motor vehicle accident on the way to the Olympic venue.

Concussion – the film
Have you seen Will Smith as Dr. Bennet Omalu, a Nigerian forensic pathologist who fights against efforts by the National Football League to suppress his research on chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) brain degeneration suffered by professional football players?

Anyone who boxes or plays football should know the risks by now. I’m more concerned for coaches and athletes in sports who assume they are at low risk of micro-trauma injury to the brain. Trampoline? Artistic Gymnasts?
