The L.A. TIMES goes with the header, "Black gymnasts, including UCLA’s biggest stars, grapple with sport’s racism." UCLA’s program "has been praised for embracing Black athletes and music in a sport that has often appeared to be overwhelmingly white." Gymnastics has a "long, fraught history when it comes to racism." The TIMES' writers "know this well because for the last year, we have been tracing the history of Black girls in U.S. gymnastics in order to tell the story of how they have gone from the margins of the sport to its core."
