Does adult gymnastics have a PR problem? You can’t be what you don’t see. World feed commentator Olly Hogben has a front-row seat to gymnastics on a global scale like no one else. In this interview with Better Late, Olly talks about how he tries to tell the whole story of gymnastics when he covers international competitions, not just the story of one country or of the podium finishers, what he’s learned from the stories of athletes on unorthodox paths, why we sometimes we miss the really good stories in men’s gymnastics, and more.
