British Gymnastics should never be allowed to forget Thursday, June 16.
It was the day that the Whyte Review, co-commissioned by UK Sport and Sport England to independently review allegations of abuse and mistreatment within gymnastics in Britain, was released publicly. Its results should deeply shock anyone that reads it.
There is so much to unpick from the review that it is hard to know where to start. It was revealed that gymnast wellbeing and welfare "has not been at the centre of British Gymnastics' culture". It added that British Gymnastics had "not only failed to prevent or limit such behaviours but had condoned some of them in the pursuit of national and international competitive success".
