We can’t wait to see what @skyeblakely_ has in store for #USClassic this weekend!

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Li Li Leung repeats the question out loud, leans back, and then does something that’s been all too rare during her transformative tenure as the president and CEO of USA Gymnastics.

She stops.

Jade Carey delivered 205/205 routines, 16 perfect 10s, and 2 full gym slams for a 100% HIT RATE in the NCAA. Here are the first (freshman 2/5/22) + last (senior 4/4/25) 10.0s of her college career ⬇️

First time in the leadoff, no problem 💅

That's a career high 9.925 for @KaliyaLincoln!

[Scott Bregman @sbregman87]

At last night’s premiere, Simone was asked about her legacy.

Her answer seemed to leave the door open for a return to competition.

“Usually, if you’re using the word legacy, it means you’re done. So, I don’t have an answer for you.”

Latest statement from USAG regarding Jordan Chiles’ bronze medal Swiss Federal Tribunal case. I tried to review the brief, but alas, it’s 36 pages written in French, and unfortunately I can’t speak (or read) French.

[Gergely Marosi @emgergo]

CAS: - You have a rule about the timeliness of inquiries, you surely have protocols in place.

FIG: - ...

CAS: - Do you?

FIG: -…

"Both FIG and Sacchi were unable to provide any answers that indicated that any system for monitoring the timeliness of any inquiry was in place."

[JennaLaineESPN @JennaLaineESPN]

So this is really nuts. Three things stand out.

1) The FIG admitted during the CAS hearing that they had no mechanism in place for monitoring the length of time on appeals at the Olympics.

2) They also could not identify who the person was responsible for logging the appeal for Jordan Chiles. It says, “The failure was the responsibility of the FIG, not of Ms. Sacchi or Ms. Canqueteau-Landi.”

3) Look at the time other inquiries were filed in that same floor final: 1:22 for Rebeca Andrade and 1:35 for Sabrina Maneca-Voinea.

This is shocking incompetence. How can you have someone at the OLYMPICS working for you on official tasks that affect the results of the competition and have no record of their name??

[one and a half nanda carpada 🇧🇷 @AnnandaBeatriz]

reading the full CAS case and isn't it sad that they were the ones saying this instead of the FIG or even the IOC

[Trinity Thomas All Around Champion @gymnastinator]

obsessed with riley’s club gym simply being “Brian Carey”

[FLAVOR FLAV @FlavorFlav]

[🤸‍♀️ @illusionturns]

Put Brian Carey in charge of this. He will figure it out

[The Medal Count @TheMedalCount_]

There are only 5 examples of a stripped Olympic medal for reasons other than doping
