I will no longer be silenced - Canadian Gymnast Abby (Pearson) Spadafora
I will no longer be silenced. Breaking the silence of my lived experiences of abuse in Canadian gymnastics is a heavy one. For the benefit of every child, athlete, and parent in the sport it’s time for me to be vulnerable; it’s time to inform everyone that the type of behaviour I and many others were exposed to was never acceptable and must be stopped.

A joint statement from the Athletes of Ukraine and Global Athlete
Today is a bittersweet victory for Ukrainian athletes. On the one hand, we have seen the power athletes yield as a collective. On the other hand, the Ukrainian nation continues to experience a raging war from Russia and Belarus and sport administrators only acted after a global outcry. As athletes have stood together for change, the Ukrainians are also standing together for their sovereignty and for peace.
