McKayla is as beloved a gymnast as anyone today. She’s been getting a lot of support from her fans.

And if anyone knows how to move forward from adversity, it’s McKayla. 🙂

Gymnastics Canada has yet to post a single video from Finals day 2. I’d much prefer to link to YouTube as those videos stream faster. But nobody but Becca is uploading immediately.

Two silver medals today for the wonderful Jessica Lopez, age-28. 🙂

People have been raving about 29yr-old Daniele’s routine, but this was the first chance I’d got to see it.

What a story it would be if Daniele Hypólito was able to compete her 5th Olympics in her home country, Brazil!

Her 28yr-old brother Diego is competing Pan Ams, as well

Will be applying for her Chinese visa soon. 🙂

As you can see, this site is not boycotting Gymnastike.

I don’t blame Becca from Gymnastike for the stupid post approved by Joe Battaglia from Flocasts.

I’ll be very surprised if Becca’s not mortified over that decision.

Gymnastike’s doing a great job at Pan Ams. THANKS. 🙂

… On the other hand, Tsuk the Pain lays out the argument for boycotting Gymnastike altogether.

And the response was the wrong one. 😦

@theworldgymnast Because we don't bury our heads in the sand on news just because the subject is uncomfortable.

If you missed the twitter gymternet blowing up last night, MANY are very upset with Gymnastike for this post, reprinted by Bekah so as not to give Gymnastike any additional page views:

McKayla Maroney Victim of Nude Photo Leak

Bekah is as angry as anyone. Here’s her take on the issue, so far.

Joe Battaglia is an ass, that’s clear.

The leadership at Gymnastike should show him the door.

Don’t blame everyone at Gymnastike for the one A-hole. That would be unethical.

the fake photos of me are crazy!! was trying to rise above it all, and not give "the creator" the time of day.. BUT.. pic.twitter.com/hceQcOxYkJ

Update. @Region5Insider clarifies that nobody at Gymnastike can override Joe Battaglia. He’s a non-gymnastics overlord from Flocasts responsible for Wrestling, Track and Gymnastics.

Track & Field blogger Chris Chavez @Chris_J_Chavez seems to have actually authored that post. It was then published by Battaglia.

Perhaps Gymnastike should quit Flocasts.

Otherwise, we need people to step up and launch a Gymnastike competitor. Something like sports2visuals.com THWTS.

I’d be happy to contribute.

This site condemns Joe Battaglia’s decision but will not boycott Gymnastike posts by those we respect. For now.

The fantastic FIG media team put together a beautiful slide show. China certainly can host a wonderful Games. 🙂
