USAG’s Li Li Leung will step down

I’m surprised Li Li wouldn’t stay through Olympics 2028.

USA Gymnastics CEO Li Li Leung will leave her role at the end of the year after a six-year run in which she led the NGB out of crisis and rebuilt the organization. Her departure comes after a drastic turnaround for the national governing body, which she has led since March 2019 and took over following one of the worst sexual abuse crises in sport. …

“I hope to be able to take some time off and figure out what is next, but that hasn’t been what’s the focus for me,” she said. “It’s basically making sure that this organization is in place to be able to hand off in a great situation.”

Ri Se-gwang from Yurchenko. Full twisting Double Back.

Black and Jorgensen were sixth and 13th, respectively, at last year’s Canadian Championships. …
