An independent report into Cycling New Zealand's high performance model questions whether the programme is fit for purpose suggesting it needs to be reimagined.
The allegations are similar to many made around the world of gymnastics.
A formal apology is a good start for the gymnastics community, but it’s about actions rather than words as those who have experienced abuse in the sport seek redress. Gymnastics New Zealand chief executive Tony Compier on Wednesday formally apologised for the abuse many in the community had experienced. That followed the release of an independent review that highlighted the extent of the “insidious culture” within the sport, uncovered by a Stuff investigation in August 2020. Former Commonwealth Games gymnast, turned leading academic and advocate, Dr Georgia Cervin said it’s great to see the apology but “we re yet to see the understanding of the harm being suffered”.
