At the U.S. Gymnastics Championship at Sprint Center in Kansas City, the world’s greatest gymnast used an interview opportunity to rail against the governing body that runs the event, USA Gymnastics. In a raw moment on Wednesday, Simone Biles got emotional talking about the lack of faith and trust in the sport’s leaders after the Larry Nassar sexual abuse scandal rocked the world.
