I wasn't sure where to put this so I am putting it in two places - Public Figures Accused of Sexual Assault and Gymnastics. Her (horror) story makes me stop in my tracks. I wish I could give her her life back. She has every right to be angry as hell, and I know that exhausted feeling she's speaking about. Aly Reisman Not Competing in Upcoming Olympics

I just watched the East Family’s video of Shawn giving birth to their son. He is an incredibly handsome, precious little boy. Way to go Shawn! So much love between these two and for their children. She has the world by the tail.

While I normally love to watch gymnastics the constant messaging from the USA media about Simone Biles being the greatest, the best of all time is getting to be a bit much. The media does not even air anyone else's routines. I sincerely hope NBC streams much of the Olympics on Peacock and hopefully the various gymnastics organizations also stream all of the other teams.
I have nothing against Simone and it is amazing to see a US gymnast at age 27 qualify and make the USA Olympic team as well as win a 9th US National Title. It was brutal watching the media as well as the country turn on this athlete during the Tokyo Olympics. At least folks are not complaining about her hair, well at least not yet.

This time around, it does look like USA Gymnastics has her back. The selection process is building a strong team that doesn’t rely on her unduly like the last Olympics. Unfortunately, the USA media is going to do anything to generate drama. Simone has said in interviews that she’s done a lot of mental preparation. Hopefully the other streaming choices will have more of the entire competition. There is some amazing gymnastics being performed around the world!

The World Junior and Senior Championships were covered well online on YouTube from the World Gym Federation but they left it on air for about a month or two and then took it down. I am going to try to watch YouTube on my Smart TV using my Roku, this way I get to see all the teams and all the routines if I want to do that.

Hate the Olympic USA team leotards. Just ugly. Hope they have nicer ones in Paris.

The American Media hype is TOO MUCH. There are other athletes besides Simone Biles.
Will get a YouTube TV trial so I can watch on a different platform and see other teams.
