I wish her well and am excited for her. Her whole career from an expectation standpoint was completely ridiculous to put on a child. 2x National Champion, World Bronze Medalist, Olympian. Not a bad career. Good luck Alysia 👏 🏅 I’m glad at the age of 16 she was able to make her own choice...

I’m not blaming the victim. I assumed she was alone because the article did not mention an adult was with her and made the situation seem dangerous. If she was alone, she should not have been. Where were the adults? That’s absolutely not her fault. Maybe the writer of the article left out the...

I wonder why she was alone late at night unsupervised in a situation where a man could ask her to his apartment…that seems kind of…. Unsafe yet preventable?

Yes. I can’t even believe anyone thought I was referring to trauma of a silver medal 🤦‍♀️

Thank you for your post- I guess I don’t have all the facts. I was 15 in 1994 when that happened. But I remember thinking it wasn’t a slam dunk gold medal performance. As far as I go, it’s perspective as a 15 year old in 1994 vs a 44 year old in 2022. I will go back and watch again. As far as...

Oh…during the Olympics as a minor, she realized she was being doped? OK. Because that’s what was happening a few days ago. Surya’s silver at Worlds was completely well earned. I never saw the reason for her to be angry. Didn’t she win the European Championships like 6 times? What was out of...

The amount of people posting in this thread who have ZERO idea about trauma response should feel lucky. If you think Trusova was being a “bratty teen” …thank your lucky stars. Because for those of us who understand trauma, it was heartbreaking. This wasn’t Surya Bonaley ripping off a silver...

Michelle was not being abused so…how are u even comparing?!?! This isn’t “a pandemic issue” 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ There are ZERO similarities . Nancy was the only victim in 1994. Not going to the Olympics as a teenager is not the same thing as a hostile abusive environment as a teenager. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

I have often wondered if Ashley’s performance and silver had any mental affect on Gracie…like “that was supposed to be me” . I can’t imagine she would have gone into this depression if she had been on the podium also…for example if she won bronze as opposed to being 4th. Or if Ashley didn’t win...

That’s my whole point, I absolutely cannot imagine it. It’s gross. It’s like when all those male reporters were asking Britney Spears if she was a virgin when she was 17. It’s the exact same thing. Adults talking about a child’s body snd wondering if she will be able to have the same skills as...

That latest article about Alysa is really cringe worthy. Between the comments from her dad, her conception, doing this for “Little Alysa” omg. It’s like her dad sucked the joy out of anything. In general, I cannot imagine, as a female, the media continuously speaking about changes to my body...

I never liked Jeremy after he made all those obnoxious faces in one year at nationals in the kiss and cry 🤣🤣

Most people turn 16 sophomore year. She isn’t an adult 18 year old college graduate. That’s a big difference age wise regardless if she completed high school early.

Well I thought she was 15 but she turned 16 four months ago. The point is that is very young.

It has nothing to do with maturity.
