Olympian, Nassar victim Schwikert Moser on USA Gym board
Olympian, Nassar victim Schwikert Moser on USA Gym boardOlympian, NASSAR VICTIM Schwikert Moser on USA Gym board Tasha Schwikert Moser knew she had a choice. The former Olympian could continue to work on the outside while attempting to hold USA Gymnastics accountable as it tries to emerge from the rubble of the Larry NASSAR scandal. Or she could leap into the void and take her advocacy for the victims of sexual ABUSE committed by the former national team doctor – a group that includes Schwikert Moser and her sister, Jordan – to the front lines. It turned out not to be much of a choice at all. When the legal settlement between the embattled organization and hundreds of plaintiffs mandated the creation of a dedicated seat on the USA Gymnastics board of directors for a NASSAR VICTIM, Schwikert Moser found her hand metaphorically thrust in the air almost out of reflex. It’s the least the 37-year-old mother of three could do if she wants to save a sport she loves dearly, even if it means becoming an overseer for an organization she and her sister sued in 2018 for not taking sexual ABUSE allegations seriously or maintaining a culture of accountability. and transparency. Schwikert Moser’s four-year term began Wednesday. “Given the climate of the sport, that person doesn’t exist. I think it’s better to have a three-person panel, so I think that change from a policy, an outline (from) the position perspective, I think that’s a smart change.” Still, Schwikert Moser took issue with the decision not to hire Olympic gold medalist Dominique Moceanu for the strategic lead. Moceanu, who raised alarms about abusive coaching practices she experienced at the hands of former national team leaders Bela and Martha Karolyi, has been a staunch advocate for NASSAR victims for years. While Schwikert Moser stressed she had no issue with any of the hires personally, she called the decision to pass on Moceanu a missed opportunity. “I believe hiring her would have made a huge statement (because) we have someone here who has been so publicly supportive of the survivors,” she said. If that means a lot of coaches leave the sport? I don’t care. We’re not going to keep ruining and destroying the lives of young athletes.” ___ More AP sports: https://apnews.com/hub/sports and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports Author: WILL GRAVES
