Claim: Three Generations Of Russian Gymnasts Performing Together ! (Social Media Users, 2023-10-04)
Evidence (2004-06-01): [7] Strands from these significant struggles came together to help give form to women’s gymnastics in the Soviet Union and in the development of a new Soviet "sports worker" which emerged from the Soviet Union’s inclusion in the Olympic Games from 1952. Against this backdrop, I will argue that elite female gymnasts performed labor for the Soviet regime that fell across three main categories. First, they were role models for domestic inspiration within the USSR; secondly, their images were used abroad as ambassadors of exemplary Soviet citizenry and sometimes as signals of Soviet foreign policy; and thirdly, they were later a resource by which much needed hard currency could be attained. [...] Cultural Cold Warriors [36] Three crucial factors coincided to determine the answers to these questions. The Soviet Union made its debut at the 1952 Olympic Games in Helsinki, the same Olympic Games where women gymnasts for the first time competed at an individual level as well as at team level. The Soviet women gymnasts performed impressively, winning three of the five available individual gold medals, as well as the gold medal for best team.

Evidence (2020-01-18): By the late 1950s, the first innovative coaches had made the pivot to recruiting and training girls under the age of ten. Today that trend is the norm, but it isn’t often realized just how early in WAG history it had actually been adopted. In the early to mid 1960s the first generation of gymnasts who had been trained in this fashion came of age. Almost immediately, they started having success. The same month Latynina celebrated her 30th birthday she famously lost to a 15 year old by the name of Larissa Petrik in 1964.

Taking this as a cue, we ran a relevant keyword search and came across an extended version of the video published on YouTube in a post titled ‘Acrobatic Gymnastics World Championships 2010 - Russia Women’s Group 1st Place.’ We found the same video in a report published by The Hits, a New Zealand-based radio station, on March 3, 2015. It identified the three Russian gymnasts as Aigul Shaikhutdinova, Ekaterina Stroynova, and Ekaterina Loginov and mentioned that the Russian gymnastics team won the most medals in the Acrobatic Gymnastics World Championships. It is important to note that this report does not mention any familial relation between the three.

Claim: Three Generations Of Russian Gymnasts Performing Together ! (Social Media Users, 2023-10-04)
Evidence (2022-12-20): RM: As a child I watched this new generation of Soviet and Romanian gymnasts on TV and they were tiny, graceful, and electric, with these serious faces, and I was in awe of them. (At the time American gymnasts were nowhere near their level.) The state training system was brutal, but such beauty came out of it, and I wanted to explore that dynamic, as well as the costs of greatness. It was also a perfect excuse to lose myself in watching gymnastics under the guise of research.
Claim: Three Generations Of Russian Gymnasts Performing Together ! (Social Media Users, 2023-10-04)
Evidence (2018-03-18): Three generations - Nabiyeva, Melnikova, Simakova. [...] Soviet gymnastics was all about style, imagination and innovation. Those principles have re-established themselves in the leading MAG Russian gymnasts over the past few years, to the point that there is the potential for real medal success at the next Olympics, if we are lucky. Nagorny is the fiery, do-it-at-all-costs leader; Dalolyan has real style and deftness; Lankin is the emerging genius. I love to watch them compete, and the respect they pay each other and their rivals. [...] Russia still has the delicacy of touch that can make for beautiful, watchable gymnastics: think of Dalolyan as one who combines this with the necessary technical aplomb and difficulty to be a world beater. On the women's side, Elena Eremina and Angelina Simakova both embrace the elegance of the Russian tradition. They are typically Russian, and in many ways the best that Russia can produce, the gymnasts who reflect Russia's gymnastics heritage and identity. But they cannot perform the difficulty needed to consistently win medals at world level. Russia's best is not good enough at the moment. In the context of a sport that has lost its way, Russia has bolted and followed the crowd, abandoned its tradition of excellence in the pursuit of power and difficulty. Has lost sight of its true strength, technical gymnastics performed with elegance, gymnastics that transcends itself.

That's now been put on vivid display with Zuckerberg taking aim at Twitter by launching the new social media app Threads. The war between Facebook parent company Meta and Twitter is heating up. Meta has just launched an app called Threads. It's been called a Twitter killer, putting Twitter on the defensive. It's just the latest instance of a long-running rivalry between the two tech billionaires Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. NPR tech reporter Bobby Allyn joins us now. Welcome.

Evidence (2023-07-06): The proposed cage match between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg might never happen, but the tech titans may soon battle in a more civil arena.

Evidence (2023-06-22): Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg challenge each other to a fight in Las Vegas over Meta’s new Twitter feed [...] Early on Thursday morning, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg exchanged messages about a possible cage fight, a common format in mixed martial arts fights. Musk, who owns Twitter, first responded to a thread about the new app that Meta, owned by Zuckerberg, is preparing to compete with the former’s social media platform with creators and public figures who want a "sanely run" network in mind. One user with just 37 followers told Musk that he "better be careful" because he’s "heard [Zuckerberg] does the jiujitsu now." Musk responded two minutes later, " I’m up for a cage match if he is lol." [...] Memes relishing the moment have appeared all over Twitter. The main concern for Musk, who is taller (he’s 6′1.5″ tall compared to the Meta boss’s height of 5′7″) and burlier than Zuckerberg, is that the latter has been training hard for months and has participated in martial arts tournaments in Silicon Valley and has already fought other tech employees. He even won a gold medal with his team, Guerrilla Jiu Jitsu.
Claim: Heated Argument Between Mark Zuckerberg And Elon Musk Over Meta Platforms’ Outage (Social Media Users, 2024-03-06)
Evidence (2023-09-27): This time last year, Meta’s reputation — and by extension, Zuckerberg’s — couldn’t have been in a more different place. Doubts were swirling about whether its ads business would recover and if spending billions of dollars on a far-out metaverse strategy made any sense. It wasn’t clear if Elon Musk was going to actually buy Twitter, which ended up giving Zuckerberg the opening to build his own competitor with Threads. A potential cage match between the two billionaires certainly wasn’t on my bingo card at the time, but here we are. That cage match isn’t going to happen after all. (Do you think Musk was ever serious about it? "You’d have to ask him.") But Zuckerberg is dead set on Threads reaching a billion people, even with reports about its early spike in engagement falling off. He’s bullish on decentralized social media, which has the potential to reshape the power dynamic between platforms and their users for the better.

Evidence (2023-06-24): The Elonization of Mark Zuckerberg: How the Meta CEO is playing it cool [...] The two billionaires have long sparred in public. In 2016, Zuckerberg criticized Musk after a SpaceX rocket exploded and destroyed one of Facebook’s satellites that was part of a project to expand internet connectivity around the world. A year later, the two traded barbs over their differing perspectives on the risks of artificial intelligence. In recent years, Musk has also advocated for deleting Facebook and criticized the platform’s role in facilitating the riots at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. Now, the two CEOs are gearing up for another battle. Meta is exploring building a decentralized social media network as an alternative to Twitter, the news that prompted the challenge to battle from Musk.

Evidence (2023-07-06): The battle between Elon Musk‘s Twitter and Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta over the launch of Threads — Instagram’s Twitter rival — has taken a legal turn. [...] In a July 5 cease-and-desist letter addressed to Meta CEO Zuckerberg, a lawyer representing Twitter said that Musk’s company had "serious concerns" that Meta "has engaged in systematic, willful and unlawful misappropriation of Twitter’s trade secrets and other intellectual property." The letter said that "Twitter intends to strictly enforce its intellectual property rights, and demands that Meta take immediate steps to stop using any Twitter trade secrets or other highly confidential information." [...] Musk, in a tweet responding to news of Twitter’s legal threat to Meta, said, "Competition is fine, cheating is not."

Evidence (2023-07-06): Elon Musk's Twitter is threatening to take Facebook's parent company, Meta, to court over its new rival social media app, Threads.

[...] Public tension between Musk and Zuckerberg has been heating up in recent weeks. The two men even passive aggressively challenged one another to a cage match, something very unlikely to happen, according to Musk's biographer, Walter Isaacson.

Evidence (2024-07-25): Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg are going to have a cage match, or at least that’s what they’ve been telling the world. The whole thing started in June because of an internal Meta meeting recording The Verge heard, in which Meta chief product officer Chris Cox said Meta’s Twitter competitor Threads would be "sanely run" in a clear jab at Musk’s Twitter reign. When a Twitter user warned Musk about Zuckerberg’s jiu-jitsu training, Musk responded that he was "up for a cage match if he is lol." Zuckerberg seemingly accepted in an Instagram post the same day.

Evidence (2023-08-26): The scenario was so improbable that even on a video streaming platform, it would have had a hard time fitting in. On Saturday, August 26, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta (parent company of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp), was supposed to face Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, SpaceX and X (formerly Twitter), in an iron cage for a mixed martial arts (MMA) fight, with the world's cameras watching. In the real world, the fight might never take place but the media impact of this challenge, fueled by Musk's provocations and one-upmanship, has kept social media busy all summer. [...] While it was Musk who first challenged Zuckerberg physically, it was Meta that lit the fuse with the launch of Threads, a new service in direct competition with Twitter. Like its competitor, Threads is a text-based social media app. It lets you post messages of up to 500 characters, to which you can add photos and videos.

Claim: Heated Argument Between Mark Zuckerberg And Elon Musk Over Meta Platforms’ Outage (Social Media Users, 2024-03-06)
Evidence (2023-07-19): Twitter is now threatening to sue Meta and Elon Musk is resorting to personal attacks, tweeting "Zuck is a cuck" and literally challenging Zuckerberg to a d*** measuring contest. I wish I was kidding, but it’s real. While Musk may be furious with Zuckerberg, he only has himself to blame for Twitter’s downfall. Since the countless Facebook scandals of the 2010s, Mark Zuckerberg has likely been eager for an opportunity to rebrand himself, and Elon Musk just threw him an alley-oop. Elon Musk has done the impossible. His behavior was so openly depraved and Twitter became so insufferable, that he made a Zuckerberg platform look good in comparison. Since Musk bought Twitter eight months ago, he spent that time personally spreading far-right conspiracy theories, tweaking the algorithm to favor himself, and condescending his own users. Musk removed the legacy verification system, taking away blue checks from journalists, like myself, and giving them to anyone who pays $8. [...] Meta is definitely an imperfect facilitator given their role in the erosion of democracies around the world, teenage mental health, and more. I’ve written extensively about this and called for more regulation. I’m under no illusion about the damage Meta has done. But Elon Musk has been so overtly damaging to Twitter that users who are looking for Twitter-like functionality are left little choice but to adopt the next best popular alternative that will have similar network effects.
