The World Anti-Doping Agency did not — I believe — follow their own procedures correctly.
In April 2024, the Doping Investigations Unit of German broadcaster ARD released a documentary revealing the details of 28 positive tests for the banned heart-booster returned by 23 Chinese swimmers.[52].
All were declared “no fault” cases after Chinada reported to WADA that a mass contamination event had accounted for the adverse findings. …

Jessica Gadirova is already a bronze Olympic medalist in the team event at Tokyo.
But tore her ACL at the the World Championships 2023 in Antwerp, Belgium,
IF not recovered in time for Paris, Jess plans to train through the 2028 L.A. Olympics. At least.
North Carolina gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson has been called “the GOP’s next top lunatic”.
Sure he’s homophobic, anti-semitic, an election denier, anti-science, anti-woman — BUT what made Gymnastics fans mad was when he dissed the greatest gymnast of all time.
Something tells me candidate Mark Robinson never did Gymnastics. 😀

Four months post surgery.
Team USA are ready to settle in a small French town, far from the hustle and bustle of central Paris, when they set up their quarters at the revamped Athletica centre for this year’s Olympics.
Some 1,200 athletes and staff will use a state-of-the-art facility in Eaubonne, which has a population 25,000 and is 15km north of Paris, after the Athletica training centre’s renovation is completed in a few weeks.
“It’s really close to the athletes’ village, so it’s really convenient for our athletes to go back and forth,” Rocky Harris, chief of Sport and Athlete Services at the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC), told Reuters.

What a story!
After winning national “Rookie of the Year” honors, Benas underwent shoulder surgery following his freshman NCAA season in 2022. Then, just as he came back from that injury, a pumpkin carving accident severed a nerve in his hand, requiring a four-hour surgical repair. Just two days after being medically cleared to resume training after his hand injury, Benas suffered an Achilles tendon tear while training on floor.
“Difficult doesn’t really describe it,” Benas says of his long road to recovery. “I admit there were some dark times, when I wondered if I’d be back here, but now I am and, yeah, it feels good.”
At January’s Rocky Mountain Open, Benas, competing in his first All-Around competition since April 2022, put an exclamation point on his comeback, earning the highest tally of his career, and the NCAA season to date, with a massive 85.2 six-event total. …

Male FIG gymnasts must show control on landing. I’d say right now there is TOO MUCH emphasis on STICK in MAG FIG.
Obviously, FIG women have never been required to show control. Absolutely no control often results in a very small deduction for WAG.
I’m of mixed feelings on this question:
On the one hand, it would force coaches to include dismounts that are more fully mastered. A good thing. AND it would help separate the best of the best routines.
On the other hand, I fear more injuries on landing might result. Stepping or hopping out of a high impact landing is an excellent way to dissipate forces. Gymnasts trying to “SAVE” a competition landing could suffer more injuries.
