Can USA Gymnastics be saved?
Can USA Gymnastics be saved?The coronavirus shrouds the 2020 Olympics, calling into question the games’ importance when faced with a threat to public health. Meanwhile, a different shadow lurks around USA Gymnastics, as it has since allegations of sexual abuse against team doctor Larry Nassar surfaced in 2016. It raises a concern of equal relevance: Should American gymnastics — one of the country’s most popular summer games sports — be celebrated when its governing bodies remain averse to accountability?
The question is should they — not will they. Because odds are, fans of American gymnastics will have plenty to celebrate should the Olympics be held. Led by four-time gold medalist and 19-time world champion Simone Biles, the American squad is poised for gold. USA Gymnastics would love if the story started and ended there: With gold medals, smiles and teary renditions of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” The Olympics are about national pride and athletic excellence, after all, and U.S. gymnasts inspire and embody both.
But should that be the beginning and end of the story?
