Safe Sport Symposium, Liverpool
More than 200 participants from over 50 different countries attended a 2-day conference jointly hosted by British Gymnastics and FIG with the support of UK Sport and the Local Organising Committee.
In his closing address, Morinari Watanabe, FIG President, presented his policy of inverting the traditional model of governance at an international sports federation and placing the athlete at the top.
Every block in the inverted pyramid, from coaches, judges, national federations and continental unions right down to the President, should work to support the athlete.”
For example, I would have appreciated one of the USA MAG stopping to address the media in the mixed zone after Team Final. Perhaps Asher.
But respect their right not do do so. Athlete first.
WAG All-Around in 1-minute
If you missed Rebeca’s win in Liverpool, it’s worth going back and watching.
As bad as the Men’s Team Final was — and it was bad — this was one of the BEST women’s AA Finals ever. Most of the top contenders hit 4/4 so Beam falls didn’t decide the ranking.
Rebeca Andrade – Cheng
Best single routine at the World AA Championship.
Some feel the gap between Rebeca and others should be greater, but realize the judges are all in a line now. They can’t see form breaks as easily as in the past.
