I know this sounds very unempathetic but I really do feel like the knife cuts both ways in terms of “knowing everything Valeri has been accused of doing to gymnasts”…..

like yeah… if WE know that (“we” being the general gymnastics fan base, consuming media and interviews with gymnasts going on the record publicly about their experiences, not even taking into account the credible yet unsubstantiated and unverifiable rumors and whisperings over the years), then the gymnasts who were on the national team at the same time as those other woga gymnasts in question absolutely do know about that shit. And she made a choice to train with him, at 26/27 years old, in the year 2022. I get that there is a finite number of options for elite coaching in the US but…

#she hasn’t said anything about her experience at woga (her whole time there has been very low profile which was surprising) #(and that’s one of the things that has made me take her comeback seriously [continuous! I still do fwiw!] and if it we #*were a publicity stunt that would obviously not be the case. same with simones comeback. like elite training in secret u mean BUSINESS) #based on her previous gym changes I doubt gabby ever will address it unless it’s in a tell all memoir lol #but anyway yeah im not looking to hashtag victim blame here but. to some extreme she did know what she was signing up for
