fliccolo

a figure skater on the US team. He medaled in the team event but suddenly was out with COVID (symptomless?), was allowed to perform at the gala (post competition exhibition), but then mysteriously not allowed to march with the rest of the team for closing ceremonies even though he was no longer in quarantine. Very suspicious

At some point during his career, his mother contemplated switching him to rep for China. There were murmurings that this was payback.

That's more an ISU thing though right?

Thank you for doing this AMA! In the skating world there is a huge movement of Adult skaters who have built an entire competitive circuit track for skaters who have aged out of the sport or for those who love learning the sport as a adult with no previous experience. In Gymnastics it seems that it's much harder to find classes that teach apparatus other than basic tumbling for Adults. Do you think that there is room in the Gymnastic community for more participation from adult beginners/those who are returning to the Gym? Why or why not?
