DEFYING GRAVITY

In part 2 of our recap of the series, Spencer reviews and fact checks Jessica’s performance and is a little too gleeful about it. We discuss Tracee Talavera’s inside story from the 2000 selection process, the “controversy” about Grace McCallum, which team was really the favorite in 2008, the strength of the abuse episode, and the latest stop on the Nellie Kim ego tour. Plus, a listener has feedback on the xenophobia of the US gymnastics coaching-abuse narrative (and Jessica remembers that time Chellsie Memmel went to Italy for that gymnastics art exhibition/political statement).
