Cirque du Soleil content FREE

If you are a Cirque junkie like myself, you’re disappointed all the shows have gone into COVID-19 hiatus.

One non-Cirque tent show ‘Absinthe’ will reopen Oct. 28th in Vegas. Capacity reduced from 660 to 153. It’s a start.

While we wait, Cirque has expanded their free online offerings.

To see everything join the Cirque Club at their cirqueconnect web page.

Merci Bernard.

Gymnastics called ‘legal child abuse’

Michiel de Hoog writes about sport for De Correspondent in Netherlands.

Though no Gymnastics expert, de Hoog put together a very damning article on the culture of elite women’s Gymnastics.

There are some specifics overstated. No examples at all of any elite gymnasts who feel they didn’t suffer child abuse. But his main point is hard to refute.

Best read it for yourself.

Women’s gymnastics has a decades-old, reform-resistant culture of abuse. It’s hard to see a solution when child abuse isn’t an exception in women’s gymnastics – it’s the logical consequence.

Why women’s gymnastics is legal child abuse
