I remember an interview with her where she tried to just say they encourage athletes to eat “natural foods” like she had any training on or business in giving sports nutrition advice.

MLT, was absolutely honest in saying that she changed with the culture of gymnastics. Don’t blame her for the methods of coaching that came before her. I, like MLT, learned so much from Bela but we also learned some of the bad stuff. At this period in coaching, we were getting no where in our country with gymnastics. Bela , although he did many wrong things, he helped us see how we could up our game and make champions. THIS WAS THE CULTURE WE WERE IN AND THE WAY WE BEST LEARNED THAT WOULD LEAD TO DEVELOPING CHAMPIONSHIP! Look at your list of those who are considered “abusive” and look at their age and their timing in our sport!!!!😮😮😮 America wanted medals, Americans wanted to be the best especially during the Cold War and that opened up with Bela and Mary Lou!!!ALSO, AMERICA SAW WHAT WAS POSSIBLE, and they JUMPED ON IT!!!!! We have never been able to even compete or compare with the Russians or other Eastern Bloc nations but Hallowed be the most famous coach defected here and taught us how to make champions. I’m not saying that it’s right but now, look at Romania gymnastics??? They are now, since I was there, operating completely different, athletes first etc so you should all ask yourselves what you want??? Happy athletes or medals??? Well, nowadays you don’t have to because we have the likes of Simone and others, who btw, came up, in their youth, under the strict advisement of the Karolyi’s, IF YOU WANT TO BLAME SOMEONE, BLAME YOURSELVES 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

So how did Alexis do at Brandi Johnson gymnastics? Love Jennie Thompson always a natural and a natural work horse❤ I always thought the ranch was a funny change. It reminded me of probably how gymnastics was in Romania and they managed to be one of the best Olympic Teams around. We are a pretty overly compensated Country so maybe we just expect far too much from everything. I think the best thing for USA gymnastics is for all coaches to speak nothing, all gymnasts speak nothing and all video spokesmen’s to speak nothing. That would be best. This is far too much negativity in all areas for anyone to want to listen to in the first place. Truth be known, we go to the gym regardless if we are obsessed with the sport no matter what anyone says perhaps. We need to be appreciative and revere what those behind us have done and make our own legacy. Just having trouble with all this negativity, not sure if it’s worse than the worst coach a Gymnast ever had or worse than a gymnast a coach ever had. Or the worst gym you ever trained in. Raises the question, does anyone really enjoy gymnastics, maybe not. Who knew!

This is disgusting. BUT it bothers me that we, as women, don't care about weigh in's with football, basketball, mma, boxing (I get those two but still) I'm a feminist and it bothers me that we say nothing about the mens weighins. Their coaches are just as brutal

Probably because men weight/body type is harshly pre selected so we don't see more diversity of it as we see on women. But the question is not exactly about the weight. The ideal is the athlete have a good shape by safety measures, it can varies from individual to individual. Some individuals look like bit "off of perfect shape" but work well or in the same level as other athletes. The major problem is the way these coaches treat them. Some issues like weight is inevitable in high performance sports. Seems these coaches never tried a nuanced, individualized and sympathetic way to approach their "pupils". Things like "cut off all the food before competition" is not just an extreme but also an unsafe measure.

For football and basketball I totally agree. I know virtually nothing re: the other sports but the weigh ins make a bit more sense because they fight by weight class.

I think it’s because gymnastics is typically young girls. CHILDREN. Not that it makes it right for men, but I think that’s why it’s emphasized so much in this sport
