- Up to 40 gymnasts have alleged safeguarding failures
- Only one case settled two years after action was threatened
British Gymnastics has said it remains “committed” to resolving the individual legal claims of up to 40 gymnasts, despite frustrations among complainants that only one case has been settled two years after action was threatened.
In the first few months of 2021, 38 former gymnasts, including four former Olympians, announced they intended to take action alleging safeguarding failures, including systemic physical and psychological abuse perpetrated by gymnastics coaches on children as young as six.
