Then in mid-air she stops rotating, and it looks as though she s about to land on her face. All I saw was one of her hands come shooting out, reaching for the coach that was supposed to be spotting her. Luckily, Lindsey landed on her stomach, which only knocked the wind out of her, but when she stood up she got one large blast of hot air. It was really quite minor, but when our coach got up and looked at Lindsey, he used every cuss word in the book. Among those she was also called a wimp and a baby and stupid.
Gymnasts take action, but to no avail That was the last straw.
Two girls from the team went home that day and wrote letters with their parents to the administrator about the incident in Lindsay's defense. All of us wondered what had happened with the letters, and sources have told me that they were ignored and then given to the coaches, who then scrutinized us even more. You would think that the administration would at least look into the situation, but no. Absolutely nothing was done. It was quite embarrassing when the entire district knew what was going on, and our school was the one not doing anything about it.
