Jim Redmond R.I.P.
A great moment in sport parenting.
At the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, Derek Redmond tore his hamstring in the 400 metres semi-final. Waving off medical assistance, Derek felt obliged to finish the race hopping on 1-foot and, with assistance from his father, managed to complete a full lap of the track as the crowd gave him a standing ovation.
Father Jim Redmond was one of the Olympic torch bearers in London for the Summer Games. Redmond Senior died in October 2022, aged 81.

While it was a good idea to drop FloGymnastics, the new USAG video streaming service hosted by Vimeo did not work well for trials. They are offering some kind of refund.

All boycotting Congress 2022 as FIG is allowing Russian and Belarusian delegates to participate.
Certainly it’s difficult to decide exactly WHICH delegates to ban.
For example, do you ban a Russian citizen who has lived in another nation for decades?
Or do you only ban those committee members and judges representing Russia and Belarus?
IF possible, I would vote for the latter.
