proposal – teams of 5 for Paris Olympics
BEST case scenario, the TOTAL number of Artistic gymnasts at the Olympics will be increased.

The main changes concern the number of gymnasts composing a team in Men’s and Women’s Artistic, which returns to a maximum of five. The qualification system is subject to the approval of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). …
the Caster Semenya debate
The majority of experts I’m hearing feel Caster should be allowed to compete against women.
Caster Semenya has claimed gold in the Diamond League‘s 800m women’s final, in what was her last race before the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) imposes controversial new rules limiting testosterone in female athletes.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) this week dismissed an appeal by the South African to set aside the IAAF’s regulations, which will require athletes with differences in sex development to take medication to reduce their testosterone levels.
The new rules, which have sparked a fierce backlash, will come into effect on Wednesday.
… After the race, Semenya was asked by the Daily Mail’s Riath Al-Samarrai whether she plans to take medication to comply with the IAAF’s regulations and she said, “Hell no.”
BBC’s Ade Adedoyin was told by Semenya that she has no plans to retire and plans to compete at the IAAF World Championships in September.

At the Heart of Gold – May 3rd on HBO
I had high hopes for new USAG CEO Li Li Leung.
She asked to be judged not on her words, but her deeds.
Shortly after that statement USA Gymnastics bungled the vetting of a first full-time director of sports medicine and science. That’s a position that would truly help the organization.
A bigger test will be how Li Li Leung handles the public response from Erin Lee Carr’s new documentary. Producers Dr. Steven Ungerleider and David Ulich began this project before the criminal doctor’s accusers came forward.
At the Heart of Gold argues that Nassar succeeded despite the many complaints against him because the people who could’ve done something about them never acted on them.
He belonged to a system that protected him and cared more about his importance in winning gold medals than the wellbeing of the girls he harmed. …
