How gymnastics became a deeply beloved Olympic sport

Its roots can be traced to ancient Greece. But the rise of modern gymnastics has been fueled by nationalism—from the Napoleonic Wars to the Soviet era.

Naked men exercising in open-air plazas. Stalwart bodyguards at Abraham Lincoln’s inauguration. Diminutive teenagers rocketing off of the ground into a dizzying sequence of flips and jumps. These images aren’t random—they’re all part of the history of gymnastics.

House passes bill banning transgender athletes from competing in federally funded women's sports

The United States House of Representatives passed a bill Thursday that would prevent transgender athletes who were biologically born male to compete in girls' or women's sports teams at federally funded schools or universities. The bill passed along party lines in the Republican-controlled House, 219-203. However, it is unlikely to pass in the Democrat-controlled Senate and President Joe Biden said he would veto the bill if it did.

What more does John Smith have to do? It’s as if winning six World and Olympic titles in a row wasn’t enough. Apparently, in the eyes of the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Hall of Fame, it isn’t.

Olympian, Nassar survivor Tasha Schwikert Moser on USA Gymnastics' board of directors

Tasha Schwikert Moser knew she had a choice.

The former Olympian could continue to work on the outside while attempting to hold USA Gymnastics accountable as it tries to emerge from the rubble of the Larry Nassar scandal. Or she could leap into the void and take her advocacy for the survivors of sexual abuse committed by the former national team doctor -- a group that includes Schwikert Moser and her sister, Jordan -- to the front lines.
