boycott Gymnastike?
Early September 2014 Flocasts, parent company of Gymnastike, put up a very controversial post. They admitted the mistake, but a proper apology was slow in coming.
Gymnastike.org has been, over recent years, charged with plagiarism. Here’s one example.
I find the practice of editing a press release and changing ALL the links lazy at best, unethical at worse.
I don’t trust Flocasts. And will only rarely link to Gymnastike in future until I believe the corporate culture changes for the better.

Uchimura’s Mom competes All Japan
If you’ve seen Shuko Uchimura, you know she’s lean and muscled.
I’m not surprised she could put on a leotard and still do gymnastics. 🙂

Uchimura wins Japan Sr 92.25
It’s not going to be easy to beat Japan at Worlds this time, if Kohei is in good shape.
And he is.

Italian Golden League
Valeria Violi previews the new Italian Golden League competition Sept 13-14th:
… will be held for the first time ever this weekend in Porto San Giorgio. It will act as a trial for the Italian team looking to represent their country at the upcoming World Championships in Nanning, China.
The four best teams who competed in the last Italian team championships (called “Serie A”) will take part in the Golden League with both senior and junior gymnasts. …
teams will be able to use as many gymnasts as they’d like on each event with only the top five scores counting to their total. The team competition will also define the all-around ranking while acting as a qualification for the event finals.
