Olympian Dominique Moceanu shaded her former coaches and praised Team USA for placing the well-being of gymnasts over competition
“As someone who was directly coached by Bela & Marta Karolyi, who began their coaching careers in the U.S. in 1981, I experienced the intensity & demands of their decades-long influence firsthand,” Moceanu, 42, wrote via X on Thursday, July 4.
“Their methods led to successes on the competition floor but often at the cost of athletes' mental & physical health,” Moceanu, who competed in the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, claimed of her former coaches on Thursday. “As we transition from the Karolyi era to prioritizing well-being over medals, especially during this time of reflection on our country’s independence, we must proceed with care.
“This shift is essential,” Moceanu continued. “While it is not an exact science, it is possible to support athletes' health while nurturing their competitive spirit. We must exercise caution, constantly evaluating how to achieve the ideal balance. Let us seize this chance to create a balanced approach, where triumphs are measured by well-being as well as medals, embodying the true spirit of freedom & progress we celebrate on Independence Day.
Skinner, who was previously coached by Marta, added that coaches now “can’t get on athletes which in some ways is really good but at the same time, to get to where you need to be in gymnastics you do have to be a little aggressive, a little intense.”
