Overview
- The Deutscher Turner-Bund and Schwäbischer Turnerbund said the coaches’ contracts now run to December 2028, covering the full Olympic cycle.
- The decision comes after late-2024 allegations by former selection gymnasts of systemic physical and mental abuse at the Stuttgart base.
- Following those claims, two coaches were relieved of their duties, and the Stuttgart public prosecutor opened an investigation.
- DTB sport director Thomas Gutekunst said it is important that gymnasts now have clarity after weeks of changes and uncertainty.
- Boorman, 52, previously coached Simone Biles and is employed by DTB as a federal training center coach, while Harris-Williams is employed by STB as a state coach.
