Tokyo: A member of the US Olympic Gymnastics team closest in Tokyo will not be a superstar Simone Biles or his athletes, but doctors and therapists are hired to treat them when exercise works behind him.
After the Rio 2016 game, US gymnastics was rocked by the revelation of systemic misuse of athletes who trigger resignation, lawsuits, investigations and bankruptcy filing.
It also forces the introduction of a long late health and safety protocol that prohibits medical personnel, coaches, judges and other event staff from having once with a athlete, and it will be seen in Tokyo.
“I’m just with an organization for one and a half years so I’m not sure what it is in Rio but with Safesport is in place now we have …
Prevention Policy,” Kim Kranz, chief gymnastics of the United States athletes and health told Reuters.
The U.S.
Center for Safesport is an independent non-profit organization that provides sports with guidelines on how to provide a safe environment for athletes and training for coaches and administrators.
US gymnastics will have a seven member medical team – five physical therapists and two reserves – in Tokyo.
“There are many rules now (they have) …
to follow,” Kranz added.
They include needing formal approval from athletes to treat it, using privacy curtains only when athletes receive fine care, and have two adults present when there are underage athletes in the medical field.
Many of the new rules are implemented in the struggle to improve failure in a system that allows former US Gymnastics Doctors Larry Nassar to prey on hundreds of young athletes.
A year after Rio’s game, Nassar was sentenced in the Federal Court of up to 60 years in prison on charges of having child sex abuse material.
The following year, he was also sentenced to 175 years and each of 125 years, in two separate Michigan courts to persecute young female gymnings under his care, including the Olympic gold medal ALY RAIMAN and McKayla Maroney.
Placuedtetbutbutbutbutbutbutbutbut When the troops are currently led by biles – one of the many who are harassed by Nassar – ready to go to Tokyo, the scandal continues to hang sports.
On July 14, the Watchdog Internal Justice of the justice department issued a report sharply criticizing the FBI for dragging his legs to investigate allegations of abuse against Nassar.
Among other things, there are further disturbing revelations of harassment.
John Geddert, the head of the US female forces coach who won gold teams at the 2012 London Olympics, was indicted by sexual violence and human trafficking.
He died of suicide on February 26, shortly after the court document was submitted for his arrest.
Other coaches have been suspended for verbal and emotional athletes, including Maggie Haney, who trained another Rio gold medal winner, Laurie Hernandez.
Kranz acknowledges that, while gymnasts a.s.
Feeling they are in a safe and protected environment in Tokyo, it will take longer to win their trust.
“It will take time,” he said.
“I think they saw repairs but I don’t think the athletes are quite ready to enter and say, ‘You’re extraordinary’ …
It took a long time to get it back.” Asked whether, considering the scandal, therapist therapist and medical personnel were around gymnastics, he said: “My guess is likely maybe it’s but I haven’t seen it yet.” There are many therapists who meet the requirements lined up for the assignment of the Olympics and are ready to undergo closed supervision, “he added.” We will ravize the people who work (with) our medical (team) very close …
These are usually medical team people know but when we don’t review their credentials, their work history, has had background checks and safesport training Before they were allowed to get out and work.
