I hate how they say the victim is anonymous and then basically give you all of the years she was on the National Team and the year she made the Worlds team.

I respect Marta Karolyi for how she has helped American gymnastics, but I find it hard to believe that this has been going on for so long and has affected so many athletes without anybody at USAG being aware about it. Especially her or Bela. I hope whomever had any knowledge about this is held accountable for it. I hope most of all that the victims are able to heal and be happy and healthy.
Sadly given the timing of her retirement I'm guessing this is why she chose to retire.
 
I can't believe they gave away as much info as they did. Plus in the lawsuit (which was fully released) she's listed as "Jane *her last name initial* *her first name initial* Doe."

Like hmmmmmmm who could that be?
 
Aliya Mustafina got married.
Lol, so did like a number of the members on the Russian National Team since Rio:
1.) Dennis Ablyazin(current MAG team, went to Rio) to Ksenia Semyonova (Beijing quad until 2010 WAG team), and Semyonova is pregnant....
2.) Ksenia Afanasyeva(current WAG team? Maybe retired, unknown).
3.) Nikita Ignatyev (current MAG team, went to Rio)
4.) David Belyavskiy (current MAG team, went to Rio)

Earlier in the year Anastasia Grishina (London quad until 2013 WAG team) got married too and gave birth to a child...

@DancerDude0118 I can't tell minor Russians apart outside of the gym...is that a picture of pregnant Grishina?

A-fan is retired for good.
That's Anna Rodionova (2012-2014 WAG team, she went to Worlds once in 2013). Grishina already gave birth. I remember feeling so heart broken for this little girl who messed up her FX routine during the London TF... a quad later, she's a mother.

im curious of who it is, i could take a good guess since someone earlier said they were on the 2009 worlds team? and a certain age. But i still think im in the dark on who it actual is.

2010 world's team, retired in 2011. her coach is named in the suit as well.
 

This doesn't really surprise me. Gymnasts put in a lot of hours at the gym; where we came from in Missouri, one of my daughters friends switched from cheer to gymnastics and even at level 2 it was 14 hours a week during the summer and 6 during the school years. Parents don't hang around and watch every practice and once they get older and start going to camp or being tapped for TOPS or beyond, they have even less parental involvement. Being secluded like that makes children easier targets. It's sad, but definitely not surprising.
