    The Legacy of Bela Karolyi

    · GymCastic: The Gymnastics Podcast
    TICKETS ON SALE NOW PORTLAND LIVE SHOW Bela's Legacy

    Bela Karolyi helped usher many gymnasts over decades to the pinnacle of the sport. If medals are the measure of success, few can match his accomplishments. When addressing his legacy, however, it would be irresponsible to ignore the wake of destruction he left behind and the culture he helped cultivate that resulted in the largest sexual abuse scandal in American sports history. Many gymnasts, even those who have shared their own stories of abuse by him, have equally expressed gratitude and admiration. It's possible to recognize his accomplishments while also addressing the physical and emotional scars he left on the sport. We are sensitive to those grieving, but we also feel an obligation to honor those who have suffered by sharing a more complete picture of Bela Karolyi. In an exclusive, we have decided to share the most serious allegation against Bela, which we unearthed in our reporting while scouring the Romanian Secret Police documents. The accusation is of sexual assault. We have redacted the names and specific dates to protect the other individuals involved. At the time, the accuser was a teenager less than half Bela's age. It’s important to note that this document was recorded in the Secret Police files, but it has not been substantiated. With that said the police files corroborated the story from the survivor noting that the accuser confided in two adults, over two separate occasions a year apart. The decision to disclose a sexual assault allegation against Bela is not one taken lightly, especially in the wake of his passing. However, this revelation serves an essential purpose, not only for historical accuracy, but also for societal accountability and justice. Only by confronting uncomfortable truths can we honor the experiences of survivors, learn from systemic failures, and create a safer, more just society. Silence and deference to power have already caused immeasurable harm. It is time to prioritize truth and healing over the preservation of a mythological past.

    The quality: low

    Spencer and Jessica spend way too long this week on a deep dive into what is perhaps the most significant film in the gymnastics pantheon, teen sports-drama-romance American Anthem.

    Jessica lovvvveeed this movie as a middle schooler. Spencer hates everything. It's gonna get good.

    We discuss it all: very excellent gymnast acting, backlit hair and 13-foot-wide denim jackets, THE TRIFFUS OF MURRRDERRR, an 11-week-old Jenny Rowland putting Daniela Silivas to shame, the lovely and sensitive handling of domestic abuse (jk it's monstrous), storing your grips IN THE LEAVES, excessive gymnastics grunting sounds, and the true hero of this story—Becky Cameron.

    The Definitive Guide to the Paris Floor Bronze Debacle so far…

    · GymCastic: The Gymnastics Podcast
    Everything you need to know about the Paris Floor Final Bronze Medal Debacle featuring Jordan Chiles (USA), Ana Barbosu (ROM) and Sabrina Maneca-Voinea (ROM), Women's Technical Committee President, Donatella Sacchi and the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). Is this a nationalist fight between Romania and the USA or just poor decision making and execution of procedures by the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG)? Did CAS act fairly and impartially? This is a guide from gymnastics insiders on everything that led to Jordan Chiles being told to return her bronze medal days after the competition ended. For our first series of FAQ's on this topic, listen to Behind The Scenes: Back from Paris with the ClusterFuggle of Bronze.

    In this episode we discuss:

    Who's at fault here (hint: it's not the gymnasts, don't @ them) What the heck happened that led to the game of bronze medal hot potato? Who got what score, was it changed, and why? Who made the decision to change Jordan Chiles score? Why might the line judges have thought Voinea went out of bounds? Why didn't they fix the out of bounds call for Voinea? Why was Jordan's score changed? Why didn't they review Jordan's entire routine? What happened when Romania challenged results? What did CAS decide and how did they screw that up? What did the FIG and International Olympic Committee decide, and how did they screw it up? What is the USOPC now arguing? Who won the bronze medal? Who has the bronze medal now? Do Barbosu and Jordan both have bronze medals? What about Voinea (who should be the outright bronze winner); has anyone acknowledged her performance in a meaningful way? What happens next?
