when you mozzarella stick the landing

But even though I am a victim, I do not and will not live my life as one. I am an Olympian. Despite being abused, I worked so hard and managed to achieve my goal. But I want everyone, especially the media, to know that despite my athletic achievements, I am one of over 140 women and survivors whose story is important. Our pain is all the same, and our stories are all important.

words from the book of aly we pray

IN THIS HOUSE we disapprove of gabby’s victim blaming mentality but we also acknowledge that it’s likely partly a result of the abuse she also went through and understand that it’s not an excuse for shitty behaviour but is absolutely a reason she thinks the way she does

“You used that position of trust that you had in the most vile way to abuse children,” she said. “I agree that now is a time of healing, but it may take them a lifetime of healing while you spend your lifetime behind bars thinking about what you did in taking away their childhood.“Aquilina continued, “You violated the oath that you took, which is to do no harm, and you harmed them selfishly. … They are superheroes for all of America because this is an epidemic.”

- Judge Rosemarie Aquilina

I think it would be cool to see where everyone in the Gymternet is from. So everyone reblog and add a gif that represents where you are from.

I really appreciate Aly Raisman, Dominique Moceanu, Kathy Johnson, and Vanessa Atler for how outspoken they’ve been in support of abuse victims.

When I first saw their routines I expected Thais to come out on top but after rewatching and looking at the D and E breakdown I’m fine with the outcome. Thais may have been scored a little harshly but not enough that she deserved bronze IMO.

Fidelis needed to trust her tumbling. Her lack of aggressive confidence on the tumbling is what ultimately took her out of the running. When I saw that 1.5 stepout I really thought she had thrown it all away at the very start and somehow she managed to rescue it, but she didn’t own part of her routine. She competed very gingerly. Fragapane made sure after that first mistake to leave no room for error. She went out there and made the rest of those tumbling lines her bitch and the judges rewarded her for it.
