The lads from Australia posted their first online panel TV show.

It includes an older interview with Aussie Olympian Emily Little. And a Coach’s Corner section with Andrew Cordery. Giant swing.

It’s geared for a general audience rather than only Gymnastics insiders.

MAG has historically done a good job. WAG has been wildly inconsistent and hilariously wrong over the decades. The current Code still has two different spellings for the name of this legend:

Schuschunova (Bars)
Schuschunova (Floor)

Shushunova (Beam)

It’s Shushunova in wikipedia. Shushunova in the IG Hall of Fame.

Gymnastike is in Italy. Paid Gymnastike members can see plenty of videos from podium training. Fans love to make short GIF highlights of their favourite gymnasts.

Seems Gymnastike has asked some sites NOT to create nor repost GIFs from Gymnastike videos. From what I could find in an exhaustive 3 minutes of research, animated GIFs are “fair use”. Fans are allowed to make them, by law.

Coach Lucian Sandu often seems to touch the gymnasts while spotting in competition. I appreciate his caution, but any brush should be a deduction. This is not the first time this issue has come up.
