INDYSTAR Expose: How USA Gymnastics protected coaches over kids
- "IndyStar tracked down four cases in which USA Gymnastics was warned of suspected abuse by coaches but did not initiate a report to authorities. Those coaches went on, according to police and court records, to abuse at least 14 underage gymnasts after the warnings."
- Episode 56: Preventing Abuse in Gymnastics
- 163: ENOUGH Marvin Sharp accused of sexual abuse.
- We created #GymUnsafe
  - Because the USA Gymnastics system is wildly inadequate, we created a spreadsheet to track coaches who make the news for suspected abuse–filling the gap between the time coaches are investigated and subsequently banned or exonerated. For example, USAG permanently ineligible member, Zac Lawson, has opened a new gym.
Skills Highlights:
- Ponor, Mustafina, Hong Un Jong, Paseka, Shang Chunsong, Chusovitina, Team Brazil and Larisa Iordache finds a gym, finally.
Team USA Podium Training
- The all-around spot is between Laurie and Aly and will be decided tonight, BUT based on today's podium training, what could one conclude?
  - FX: Gabby, Laurie, Simone, Aly
  - VT: Laurie, Gabby, Aly, Simone
  - UB: Aly, Simone, Gabby, Maddy
  - BB: Gabby, Aly, Laurie, Simone
- Maggie Haney is as upset about it as Jessica is.
Our favorite off-the-cuff comments from the arena, equipment "decorations," fashion news, and reality of living in Rio.
