National Girls and Women in Sports Day

In the USA since 1987, launched by Ronald Reagan, National Girls and Women in Sports Day … to acknowledge the accomplishments of female athletes, recognize the influence of sports participation for women and girls, and honour the progress and continuing struggle for equality for women in sports.

Women’s Gymnastics is in a unique position to lead this struggle. It’s one of the highest visibility sports where the women are more popular than men with the general public.

USAG done with FloSports

Good decision.

FloGymnastics never did evolve into a good streaming service.

I’m happy I’ve never subscribed.

FloGymnastics.com is still LIVE with their own content. Some of that free.
