Summary
Normally BTS is just for Club Members but considering the gravity of the news today, we had requests to make it public.
Today we grieve the loss of human rights in the United States and discuss how the Supreme Court decision to reverse Roe v. Wade will impact the sport; answer your questions live and read your excellent letters: What are Ukrainian Bars; why did Khorkina wear a t-shirt with her own face on it; Full Out 2; girls wrestling recruiting gymnasts; Jessica accidentally throwing her doctor off balance; Olympic transportation and volunteer conditions; two family vault changes; lack of Gadirovas and more.
BTS is a weekly Q&A podcast just for club gym nerd members! If there isn't a competition, we record every Friday at noon (PST). It's our appreciation love letter to club members for supporting the show. Here's how to ask questions live.
