2015 Nationals Broadcast Question

I was just looking through USAG's Youtube channel and I can't find the broadcast with commentary for Day 1 of the Women's Nationals. Didn't they show it that year on NBCSCN?

How Artistic gymnasts qualify for TOKYO 2020 - FIG Video

I trust this will make it easier for everyone to understand... :cool:

I wonder how long it took this guy to master the endless sentence that is the exception rule for Criteria 7... :rolleyes:

Shawn "Bullied" ???

I keep hearing the odd reference to Shawn saying she'd been bullied by the other gymnasts but can never find anything concrete to back this up. Is this just an internet rumor and if not, could someone please show the original source because this is driving me nuts.

Thanks in advance.

What if they never left?

Just wondering what some of your guys thoughts were on girls changing gyms. How do you think their skils/careers would've developed differently had they not made the change? Would it have effected other gymnasts at either gym positively or negatively?
I'll start with a few but feel free to add more

Sexual Abuse Scandal hits Brazilian Gymnastics

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-43966284

Huge abuse case in Brazilian's gymnastics, specifically in MAG.

Petrix and Diego have said horrible things about how they were treated for years... Ugh feel horrible for these kids. The bullying and sexual abuse was awful. 42 gymnasts have come forward at this time so far. Sergio Sasaki also trained with this coach but hasn't said anything yet.

My experience with WAG was very positive. I know of one story but it was not really abuse, a coach was fired for dating an underage gymnast. He was young himself so I didn't really see it as a big deal at the time although now it does sounds a little off. That's the extent of my experience though. MAG seems to have been much worse.

April IG Qualification Article - Clarification Please?

Is there anyone who could maybe translate the FAQ IG did in their April issue about the new stupid Olympic qualification rules into less technical jargon? The more I read it the more confused I get.

(I REALLY hope the FIG goes back to normal six or seven member teams next quad!)

Golea 1985 FX

Just watched this floor routine and was wondering, is there a downloadable version of it anywhere? I really liked it.
