disaster for Dunedin Gymnastics, NZ
It’s not clear whether or not insurance will cover this kind of loss. 😦
Dunedin Gymnastics Academy will have to write off more than $100,000 worth of equipment after health and safety tests last week revealed traces of asbestos on the rafters and window sills.

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.
