Gymnastics Canada CEO Ian Moss responds
First priority is to continue programming as planned despite the government funding freeze.
He seems to be willing to have a more independent and transparent process.
BUT I’m not clear on how and why Sports Canada would unfreeze funding any time soon.

The engagement of the McLaren Group speaks to our shared commitment of creating a holistic environment by collectively building a βroadmapβ towards effective and sustainable behavioural and cultural change. …

when you STICK, show it off
College landings really have gotten safer in recent years.
We want to reward the techniques that most safely reduce HUGE impact forces to zero.
Stylistically, when gymnasts actually STICK (as opposed to the fake College jump & turn) they should stay down and make it crystal clear there’s no deduction. Own the STICK.
More NCAA gymnasts are doing that.
