TT Gymnastics Federation ordered to compensate Thema Williams
I’m surprised to see this ruling.
In many sports any athlete can be replaced by Federations for many reasons. Can a judge rule on whether or not an athlete should be withdrawn?

#4. Raisman, a three-time Olympic Gold medalist (and Rio teammate of #3 Simone Biles), shares her teammate’s skill for social media. Search interest also factored into her jump to #4: as a vocal figure in the USA Gymnastics scandal, Raisman has consistently been in the news.
