DEBTOR’S OBJECTION TO COMMITTEE’S 2004 MOTION USA Gymnastics, as debtor and debtor in possession in the above-captioned chapter 11 case (the “Debtor” or “USAG”), objects to The Additional Tort Claimants Committee Of Sexual Abuse Survivors’ Motion For An Order Pursuant To Bankruptcy Rule 2004 Directing Production Of Documents And Materials From USA Gymnastics [Dkt. 519] (the “Rule 2004 Motion”). INTRODUCTION On April 24, and May 8, 2019, the Sexual Abuse Survivors Committee (“Committee”) served the Debtor with two overly-broad document demands seeking a wide-range of documents without any time limits whatsoever. In total, the Committee sought over 102 categories of documents. As the Committee concedes in its Rule 2004 Motion, in slightly over a month, in three separate productions, USAG has produced documents or provided information in response to most of the categories of documents that the Committee sought. (Rule 2004 Motion ¶¶ 16, 22-23.) Of 2 the 102 different demands, only 14 remain unanswered. 1 The last four digits of the Debtor’s federal tax identification number are 7871. The location of the Debtor’s principal office is 130 E. Washington Street, Suite 700, Indianapolis, Indiana 46204. 2 In Exhibit A to its Motion, the Committee lists 16 demands it contends are unsatisfied, but one of those demands is new, as the Committee admits, and as explained below, USAG has in fact responded to one of the demands already.

The 1964 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XVIII Olympiad ( Dai J ūhachi-kai Orinpikku Ky ōgi Taikai ), were held in Tokyo , Japan , from October 10 to 24, 1964. Tokyo had been awarded the organization of the 1940 Summer Olympics , but this honor was subsequently passed to Helsinki because of Japan's invasion of China , before ultimately being canceled because of World War II . The 1964 Summer Games were the first Olym- pics held in Asia, and the first time South Africa was barred from taking part due to its apartheid system in sports. (South Africa was, however, allowed to compete at the 1964 Summer Paral- ympics , also held in Tokyo, where it made its Paralympic Games debut .) Tokyo was chosen as the host city during the 55th IOC Session in West Germany, on May 26, 1959. These games were also the first to be telecast internationally without the need for tapes to be flown overseas, as they had been for the 1960 Olympics four years earlier. The games were The 1964 Olympics were also the last to use a telecast to the United States using Syncom 3, the traditional cinder track for the track events.

  • Differences in Vault Jumps in Women Artistic Gymnastics
    Lucija Milčić1, Kamenka Živčić Marković1, Tomislav Krističević1, Miljan Grbović2, Aleksandra Aleksić-Veljković3 1University of Zagreb, Faculty of Kinesiology, Zagreb, Croatia 2University of Belgrade, Faculty of Sport and Physical Education, Belegrade, Serbia 3University of Niš, Faculty of Sport and Physical Education, Niš, Serbia Differences in vault jumps in women artistic gymnastics ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to determine the difference between vault jumps at old and new horse performed at the Olympic Games 2000. and Olympic Games 2016. in women artistic gymnastics. Research was conducted on a sample of 32 jumps. Sixteen jumps at apparatus (vault) finals competition were performed at the Olympic Games 2000. in Sydney, Australia. Other sixteen jumps were performed also in the vault finals, but at the Olympic Games 2016. in Rio, Brazil. Analyses of the vaults were done by video. Variables which are used was divid- ed in two parts: type of the jumps (2, 3, 4, 5) and rotation (180°, 360°, 540°, 720°, 900°). Type of jumps was: 2=Handsprings, 3=Tsukahara, 4=Yurchenko, 5= Half-turn entry. Differences between the Olympic Games in type of jumps and rotations were calculated by T-test for in- dependent samples and Mann-Whitney U Test for independent sample. Results of Mann- Whitney U Test have shown that at the level of statistical significance of p<,05 that there were differences between the Olympic Games in variable rotation. It seems that today´s vault is performed with much more rotation around longitudinal (LA) axis of the body, and around transversal it seems that they are the same despite the new vault table.

  • Abstract Writing the Olympic Dream
    ABSTRACT WRITING THE OLYMPIC DREAM: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE MEDIA COVERAGE OF THE 2004 OLYMPIC PAUL HAMM MEDIA CONTROVERSY by Margi Sammons This thesis is a critical analysis of newspaper coverage of the 2004 Olympic men’s gymnastics “controversy.” In this coverage an Olympic media complex is present, in which the press must recognize the Olympic myth and simultaneously deal with its inherent hegemonic and capitalistic ideologies when reporting on Olympic “scandals.” This paper will present a case study of USA Today and The New York Times articles to illustrate the language, topics, and style these newspapers use to cover the “controversy.” Writing the Olympic Dream: A Critical Analysis of the Media Coverage of the 2004 Olympic Paul Hamm Media Controversy A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Miami University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Communication by Margi Sammons Miami University Oxford, Ohio 2005 Advisor______________________________________ Dr. Kathleen German Reader_______________________________________ Dr. Bruce Drushel Reader_______________________________________ Dr. Ronald Scott TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER 1 ................................................................................................................................... 1 CHAPTER 2 ................................................................................................................................. 23 CHAPTER 3 ................................................................................................................................

My mind often wanders back to a time when I was dancing my favorite roles in my favorite ballets, but something about that time is dark. What changed my memory of my happy-go-lucky childhood self? Sexual abuse. There is no denying that trauma is detrimental to every aspect of a survivor’s life, yet there is something vastly different about my story than that of most survivors. When I came forward about my abuse from Larry Nassar, I was believed. I was welcomed to speak. I was able to cry and yell in a courtroom and watch my abuser be sentenced to life in prison. This is not what most survivors experience, and I can’t imagine how different my journey would have been if I was not believed nor encouraged to speak up.
