Abby Spadafora has had trouble sleeping since a gymnastics coach in Lethbridge, Alta., was charged with sexually assaulting a seven-year-old girl last week.
Spadafora and other Canadian gymnasts say they're devastated about the case that is only too familiar. And they wonder if it could have been prevented.
Gymnasts for Change, a group that has grown to over 500 current and retired gymnasts, has been calling on Sport Canada for an independent investigation into their sport for months.
And while they applaud the swift measures taken against Hockey Canada around an alleged sexual assault of a woman in 2018 by members of its junior men's team, they wonder why no one is hearing their own cries for change.
