What did you think of Vanessa Atler though. I thought she was one of the most talented U.S gymnasts ever and it is sad her career turned out the way she did. Maybe if she competed in a later era she could have been a stellar 3 event gymnast and just dropped bars altogether which was the start of her mental issues.
That's pretty much what I think of her, haha. I will give her mad props for being the first to support the gymnasts when the sexual assault allegations were first coming out especially considering how her friendship with Jamie didn't end well during that period, it shows a lot of maturity and understanding of the topic to go out on a limb and publicly support the victims. Not many people did, and Atler was facing a firing squad of people on Facebook who called the victims all sorts of things and were in deep denial about it.
