Round-up of the latest news from Rio includes:

Gabby issues statement about the most ridiculous thing ever.
The future of Aliya Mustafina and her former coach, Alexander Alexandrov.
International Gymnastics magazine reports that Yuri Van Gelder will try to sue his federation.
ONGOING Reports that USA Gymnastics has repeatedly failed to report abuse cases:
- “Four U.S. senators wrote a letter to USA Gymnastics President Steve Penny on Friday, expressing “deep concern” about the organization’s handling of sex abuse allegations about coaches” – IndyStar
- USA Today has an excellent explanation about this issue in the article titled, "Sexual Predators Left Off the Banned List"
- ESPN's "I was raped by my coach" article.
  - "When I look back at this, it makes me feel very frustrated by USA Gymnastics. I often think that I could have been saved if its policies were different. It all comes from the leadership down, and unless the leadership stands up and says, "We are not going to tolerate this," nothing will change*. It needs to say, "Anyone who crosses a toe over the line we're drawing here is going to be out. You will be banned. We'll talk to our sister organizations, and you won't be able to find a loophole and have access to kids. You can't run a gymnastics camp."
NBC has streaming covering and a daily online gymnastics recap show called the Daily Dismount. We are obsessed with how good they are! Jim Watson, Courtney Kupets and Jonathan Horton #Jhortney 4 eva!
