“We apologise for that unreservedly, and we will work hard with our community and our partners to address and redress that.
“We commend the courage and bravery of those who have come forward to share their experiences.” …

interview with Paul Juda
A year ago, Paul Juda found himself a surprise member of the U.S. men’s gymnastics senior national team. …
Juda feels as though he has made the most of the time he’s had with Olympic postponement.
“Another year, being so young is honestly super helpful,” said Juda. “I think where I am right now, I’m in much better position than I was last year to make to potentially make the Olympic team.”

Florida, LSU, Utah
- Florida, 197.506
- LSU, 197.144
- Utah, 197.090
- Oklahoma, 196.845
- Arkansas, 196.775
- Alabama, 196.581
- Denver, 196.544
- Michigan, 196.538
- Iowa, 196.531
- UCLA, 196.450
In pretty much every respect, Iowa’s performance on Saturday was a big deal.
The 196.800 total score ranks tied for 4th on Iowa’s all-time score list (the team record is 197.150), and Iowa notched a victory over the supposedly better Minnesota team as it continues a surprising assault on conference supremacy.
The original posted meet score of 196.825 would have tied Iowa with Michigan for first in the Big Ten this week.
BBS – WEEK 5 RANKINGS
Arizona State’s gigantic 197.150 in falling to Utah on Saturday isn’t breaking team records the way Iowa’s results have been because, a couple decades ago, ASU was a 198y team.
But this performance should be treated with similar significance. The vault and bars rotations on Friday were the best I’ve seen an Arizona State team look on those events.
