    🚨 Tonight at 9pm on ITV1: A Must-Watch Documentary "Gymnastics: A Culture of Abuse?"Ahead of this summer's Olympics, a new documentary is bringing to light some serious issues in gymnastics. It tells the stories of former British gymnasts who faced abuse from their coaches when they were younger. These athletes are bravely sharing their experiences, some for the very first time, to highlight a problem that needs urgent attention.The documentary explores how these harmful experiences have affected their lives, from personal relationships to health issues like eating disorders and addiction. It also touches on the efforts to make gymnastics a safer sport for everyone involved.The documentary is part of a larger conversation about making sure young athletes are treated with respect and kindness in their training. It follows a report called the Whyte Review, which found that many young gymnasts were treated poorly. The hope is that by talking about these issues openly, we can make positive changes.Read more on the Whyte Review here: https://lnkd.in/dmV47bXN It can be challenging to speak about your experiences, but even if the abuse happened to you years ago, our Abuse team are here to listen and help. 📞 For initial confidential advice, get in touch with our supportive team today: https://lnkd.in/d2ENZF-d Read more on abuse in gymnastics and Whyte Review in the article we posted last year: https://lnkd.in/d6aM-SJi #BritishGymnastics #CultureOfAbuse #ITV #AbuseSolicitors #SimpsonMillar

    Don’t tell me what i can’t do. Tell me what i should do. The sign at the closest door to the parking at the venue of my daughter’s gymnastics competition says “Only gymnasts, coaches, judges and staff”It’s should say: “Only gymnasts, coaches, judges and staff. Parents and fans enter through the door up the hill.”Why are people making signs more focused on telling people what not to do, instead of telling them where they can do what they want to do. Happens all the time“No dogs allowed.” Vs “no dogs allowed, but feel free to tie them to the fence and we will offer them some water.”“No smoking.” Vs “No smoking, but there is a smoking room at the end of the hallway.”Etc etcLesson: make sure to solve the problems you create for others when you create a solution that solves your problem.#creativity

    Professionalism is now become a joke in Artistic gymnastics,Most people who are just able to do some flips and some unnecessary skill,they think they could easily become a professional gymnast, The most shameful thing is many coaches and also many athletes all around the world forgot about that 'why gymnastics is called as mother of all sports' and it's one of the toughest,hardest and most beautiful sport in the world. people just steal from this beautiful sport and use it for social media influence and private training classes. on the otherhand professional atheletes have faced injury because of poor analysis and lack of implementation of new techniques, the reason behind that, In artistic gymnastics you can't predict things easily with theoretical knowledge, It's an unpredictable sport ,it requires quick and high level instinct and out side the box thinking.

    Gymnastics NZ just made some big changes to their uniform policy, and we're here for it 👏👏👏 The changes allow female gymnasts to wear shorts or leggings over their leotards while performing, to align with their male counterparts. When we're asking young people and athletes to do incredible things with their bodies in sport, we need to make sure they feel comfortable and confident while doing so — and one of the most critical aspects of this is what we ask them to wear! Want to know more? Our Embrace Sport Playbook outlines all of the information that community sporting clubs and organisations need in order to make small changes to uniforms that could make a big difference to how many young people sign up for — and stay — in sport.

    What do a one-minute deadline, evidentiary issues, and arbitration have to do with the Olympics? Those are what will determine whether USA artistic gymnast Jordan Chiles receives a bronze medal or a fifth place finish in floor exercise at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Lawyers know that missing a deadline can have drastic consequences. But most lawyers have days, weeks, or months to meet deadlines. Chiles's coach, Cecile Landi, had just one minute to submit an inquiry into Chiles's floor exercise score at the Olympics under the applicable rules of the international gymnastics federation, Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique (FIG). One minute. And whether she met that deadline will determine whether Chiles receives a medal for her floor exercise performance.Many are unaware that a legal framework exists for athletes to challenge decisions concerning aspects of competition in arbitration. U.S. athletes can even challenge decisions by national governing bodies relating to pre-Olympics competitions under U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee Bylaws.An arbitration currently proceeding in the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) concerns whether Coach Landi met the one-minute deadline to make an inquiry into Chiles's score. On Saturday, the CAS reversed the Olympic artistic gymnastics judges' decision to allow Coach Landi's inquiry. During competition, judges allowed the inquiry and increased Chiles's total score by one tenth of a point. As a result, Chiles was awarded the bronze medal in floor exercise behind Brazil's Rebecca Andrade and USA's Simone Biles. Romania, which had two athletes bumped down to fourth and fifth place after Chiles's score adjustment moved her into third place, appealed the decision. Romania argued that Coach Landi's inquiry came in four seconds after the one-minute deadline. The CAS decision announced Saturday agreed that Landi's inquiry was untimely. As a result, the International Olympic Committee has announced that the bronze medal will be "reallocated" to Ana Maria Barbosa of Romania.But, wait--there's more. USA Gymnastics reports that previously-unavailable time-stamped video evidence conclusively establishes that Coach Landi made the inquiry 47 seconds after Chiles's score was posted, within the one-minute deadline. News reports indicate that based on this evidence, the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) intends to seek reconsideration of the panel’s decision and reinstate Chiles as the bronze medalist in floor exercise. If CAS refuses to reconsider its decision, Chiles will be required to appeal to the Swiss Federal Courts, which rarely considers appeals from the CAS.

    Gymnastics is a sport that has been around for a very long time. Right from ancient Greece to the modern-day Olympics, this sport has stolen many hearts. This sport requires balance, flexibility, strength, grace, control, and coordination. And it’s a high-energy sport that boosts our physical strength and mental health. In this article, we will explain how gymnastics attire has evolved over centuries, the history of leotards, from past to present day.https://lnkd.in/gQxSdtG6

    Greespi contains the maximum amount of useful elements.😊 And of course, there are recommendations for use to see your results. You can dose the amount you need for yourself, but we recommend consuming two servings a day, but if you lead an active lifestyle (sports, dancing, gymnastics, or are fully committed to your career), you can consume more Greespi based on your feelings.😎 Since it is a completely living natural product, there is nothing unnecessary or harmful in it.The simple way to prepare Greespi 🙃

    Good habits are best started early. A young child is naturally active, so build on their inclinations to use their body✅Whenever possible, indulge your child’s interest in physical activity – for example, kick the ball with them when they ask.✅ Show your child how to perform basic sporting skills, such as ball throwing, skipping and jumping. Research suggests that children whose basic skills are poor tend to avoid sports.✅Try out different sports in age-appropriate classes. Many activities have been adapted for toddlers, including gymnastics, football and dance.#physicaleducation #peteacher #agilitytraining #strengthtraining #teaching #balance #healthylifestyle
