Olympic Gymnastics Coach Receives Lifetime Ban For Abuse
Gymnastics: US Olympic Trials: View of Ashton Locklear and Qi Han after uneven bars event during ... More Women's Competition at the SAP Center. San Jose, CA 7/8/2016 CREDIT: Donald Miralle (Photo by Donald Miralle /Sports Illustrated via Getty Images) (Set Number: SI439 TK1 ) The U.S. Center for SafeSport has permanently banned another prominent U.S. gymnastics coach. Qi Han, founder of Everest Gymnastics in Cornelius, N.C., is a former Chinese national team gymnast turned U.S. coach. The U.S. Center for SafeSport is an independent, non-profit organization responsible for investigating and responding to allegations of abuse in Olympic and Paralympic sports. On Thursday, June 5, SafeSport ruled Han 'permanently ineligible" on the centralized disciplinary database. The organization cites Han's emotional misconduct, physical misconduct, and the violation of USA Gymnastics policies and bylaws. Han coached former elite gymnast Ashton Locklear to an Olympic alternate spot in 2016 and a World title in 2014. He also coached Haleigh Bryant, a three-time NCAA National Champion with the LSU Tigers. The permanent suspension comes after Han was temporarily sanctioned for the reported misconduct in 2023. During the sanction period, Han was barred from training or contacting athletes without supplementary adult supervision. The process has been tedious for Han's victims. Allegations first surfaced in 2016, with Locklear, his most prominent athlete, reporting emotional and physical abuse to the U.S.A. Gymnastics and the U.S. Center for SafeSport in 2017. Locklear reported 'yelling" and abrupt expulsion from the gym, and accused Han of 'throwing a cellphone at her.' Han denied Locklear's claims, and in 2018, she told The New York Times that those allegations initially fell on deaf ears. 'They know about his abuse and they did nothing," she reported. The case was passed over to SafeSport in 2017, and Locklear was far from alone. According to the center, allegations against Han came from over 80 witnesses, with details measuring 'thousands of pages of evidence' and 'that span decades.' Han opened his Charlotte-area gym in 2004, nearly two decades before his initial sanction in 2023. Monica Avery, the owner of OSEGA Dream Academy in Asheville, N.C., reported Han's abuse to U.S.A Gymnastics in 2016. Avery alleged that she had seen Han 'kick an athlete' at a gymnastics competition in Texas. Avery also expressed frustration with the speed of Han's case. 'The emotional damage all these girls go through is so heartbreaking, and it could have been prevented if Han would have been stopped years ago,' she said. While the ruling is subject to appeal, the interim CEO of the U.S. Center for SafeSport, April Holmes, delivered the following statement regarding the verdict. 'This outcome sends a clear message that sport culture is changing and accountability is moving the needle.'

Escaped zebra named Ed spotted in Tennessee, being tracked via drone by sheriff's deputies
An escaped zebra named Ed has been spotted nearly a week after escaping its owners in Tennessee, officials say. Using a drone, Rutherford County sheriff's deputies saw the zebra in a field near Christiana, about 40 miles southeast of Nashville. They continue to track the animal with the drone, the sheriff's office said. "We don't want to scare the zebra," Sheriff's Cpl. Sean White said. "We need time to get him to calm down." Missing zebra spotted near Christiana Rutherford County Sheriff's deputies observed a missing zebra through a drone camera Friday morning in a field near Christiana. Deputies are tracking the zebra with the drone. Sheriff's Cpl. Sean White has asked people to avoid the area. 'We don't want to scare the zebra,' White said. 'We need time to get him to calm down.' The zebra's owner has been notified. The Sheriff's Office requested help from a veterinarian to respond to rescue the zebra. We will update people when there is more information available. Thanks to Rutherford County Deputy Ryan Bauer for the video. Posted by Rutherford County Sheriff's Office on Friday, June 6, 2025 The zebra was originally brought to the property of the owners, Taylor and Laura Ford of Christiana, Tennessee, on Friday night. But on Saturday, the animal was seen running along a highway. It then escaped into a wooded area, the sheriff's office said. The Ford family originally named the zebra Zeke, but as the public weighed in during the search, they decided to use the name Ed. "Through viral posts, news coverage, and thousands of messages, he became known as Ed the Zebra. And now, he will be forever known as Ed — a symbol of joy, laughter, and unity," the Fords said in a statement. While Ed has caused some excitement online, some are critical of the situation. "The zebra escape in Tennessee is an unfortunate and completely avoidable incident," said Angela Grimes, the CEO of Born Free USA, an animal advocacy nonprofit. "Zebras are wild animals. They do not belong in back yards, kept as pets, or put on display for human entertainment." Grimes warned the escape could cause "a state of severe stress for the zebra, which may result in increased harm to those who come in contact, including officials charged with trying to contain the zebra." The sheriff's office said it has requested help from a veterinarian in any attempt to capture the animal. contributed to this report.
