Luna looks like the Olympic gold-medaling gymnast, complete with a Team USA leotard and a realistic-looking gold medal around her neck. She smiles next to her parents after the presentation, who are both dressed in black with proud looks on their faces as they hug their daughter. She also shared photos of Luna at her presentation table, complete with a book on the gymnast, fliers Luna made titled Biography of Gabby Douglas by Luna Stephens, little gold trophies, and a paper with a QR code printed on the table.
In the caption, Teigen explained, 'they even made QR codes linking to stop motion videos, I die. And I think of that amazing episode of parks and rec 😂'
Teigen also shared a video of Luna's presentation on her Instagram story, which she begins with some flips. Luna walks into a conference room, with red track pants over her leotard, and tumbles down the aisleway, ending in the splits as the crowd cheers.
Then she walks up to a microphone and introduces herself in a strong, clear voice. 'Hi! My name is Gabby Douglas,' she says. 'I'm the first African American woman to win the All-Around Olympic title.'
'So proud Luna!!!! @gabbycvdouglas,' Teigen wrote over the video.
Over the summer, Luna got to see the U.S. women's gymnastics team compete at the 2024 summer Olympics in Paris along with her parents and her brother Miles, 6. In an interview with PEOPLE before the event, the Chrissy & Dave Dine Out star said her kids were 'thrilled' to see the Olympics.
She added that Luna 'is so excited to watch gymnastics.'
'She's a gymnast herself,' Teigen continued, joking, 'but not anywhere near the caliber of Simone Biles yet.'
You never know, though. Luna might be the next Gabby or Simone one day!Best of SheKnows

Brandon Blackstock Was Dating Kelly Clarkson Assistant
Last week, it was confirmed that Kelly Clarkson's ex-husband and former talent manager, Brandon Blackstock, had died from skin cancer at the age of 48. The sad news broke just hours after Kelly announced that she was postponing the remainder of her August concerts in order to be 'fully present' for her children, whose 'father has been ill.' A representative for Brandon later told People that he had 'bravely battled cancer for more than three years,' and 'passed away peacefully' on Aug. 7, 'surrounded by family.' Kelly and Brandon were married from 2013 to 2020 and share two children: 11-year-old River Rose, and 9-year-old Remington Alexander. Their divorce was finalized in 2022 following an incredibly messy legal battle, which centered around a financial dispute from Kelly's time being managed by Brandon under his family's talent agency. The legal case was settled in May 2024. After Brandon's death, an insider reflected on the former couple's 'incredibly difficult' divorce to People, stating that it was 'messy, painful and something she felt terrible about.' However, the source went on to add that Kelly always remained positive about Brandon for the sake of their children, saying: 'When she found out that he was sick, she remained protective of him for their sake. Kelly has always tried to keep things classy.' 'She always wanted her kids to have the best relationship possible with their dad. She never spoke poorly about Brandon to the kids,' they added. 'It became clear earlier this year that Brandon was not doing well. She's been devastated for the kids.' And some more insight into Brandon's personal life has come to light in his obituary, which reveals that he was in a happy relationship with Brittney Marie Jones at the time of his death. In the obituary, Brittney is described as Brandon's 'beautiful and loving partner in life and business,' and it has since been revealed that Brittney actually worked as Kelly's production assistant in Nashville between 2016 and 2018. Per People, Brittney's LinkedIn revealed that after working for Kelly for two years, she transitioned to an executive management assistant role for Brandon in December 2018, but still 'assistant managed day to day artist schedule for Kelly Clarkson.' In June 2020, which is the same month that Kelly filed for divorce from Brandon, Brittney became an executive assistant for his Montana ranch, V Bar B Cattle Co. Brandon's obituary states that he and Brittney 'started building a life, building companies, and working tirelessly to create Headwaters Livestock Auction and what will live on as his legacy, The Valley View Rodeo in Bozeman, Montana.' People also report that Brittney's father, Larry Jones, paid emotional tribute to Brandon on Aug. 8, where he wrote: 'Yesterday we lost a good man Brandon Blackstock.' He purportedly went on to describe Brandon as his 'daughter's soulmate,' and said that he 'considered him [a] son.' Kelly has not publicly addressed Brandon's death as of yet, but we will keep you posted on any updates.

Gymnast Frederick Richard's latest challenge is attempting to change his sport's strict dress code
Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up To which we say, bravo. Advertisement The 21-year-old once again put action behind his words at the recent US championships, switching the traditional stirrup pants, unitards or short shorts for a combination of compression leggings, gym shorts, and jersey style sleeveless tops, clothing he feels is more comfortable, 'cooler,' and more likely to resonate with young, male gymnasts he hopes to inspire. Just as we advocate for women seeking change against Advertisement 'I think what he's doing is fantastic because it's bringing attention to our sport, which is desperately needed,' said Matt Carbone, a girls' competitive team coach and general manager at Sterling Gym. 'He'll find some success down the way but he's exploring new ideas, which is what we need. It may work, may not, but at least he's trying. 'The athletes that look up to him are definitely appreciative of what he's trying to do.' On a recent episode of the 'Neutral Deductions' podcast, Richard explained, 'Our sport has so much further to go and if we're not willing to take risks and try new things even if they're not the right things, then why am I dedicating my life to this? That's why I want to try new things even if there are consequences.' Frederick Richard is trying to change the strict dress code of gymnastics. Gerald Herbert/Associated Press And there were consequences. Measurably, a three-10ths deduction each day as required by FIG, the international gymnastics federation. Richard insisted after a second-place finish (it wouldn't have changed without the deduction), 'it's 1,000 percent worth it. If you look at these kids in the crowd, I'm thinking about them and I'm thinking about when I was younger.' That kid wanted to look cool, but in saying as much, Richard risks blowback from those who question if painting old uniforms as too feminine is inherently homophobic or misogynistic. But Richard, who speaks from his own life experience as a boy doing what was perceived as a female-dominated sport, has never made comments to that effect. He just remembers wanting to like his workout gear. Advertisement 'If I left the gym to go to the gas station, I didn't want anybody to see me in my pommel horse pants,' Richard said at the recent championships. 'Kids would say, 'Do you do gymnastics?' I'd say, 'Yeah.' But I didn't want them to search 'gymnast' and see the uniform. I didn't feel like it was cool.' Related : With his youth and deftness at all things social media — TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, et al — Richard is well-positioned to be in this generation of influencer athletes and help the sport grow. That's where the uniform motivation comes from. As he continues to point out, there is no final product yet in his work with the apparel company Turn, and he is constantly taking in feedback from other gymnasts, coaches, judges or fans. He knows how important it is for judges to be able to see the body's form as it performs routines, that the lines of the torso not be lost in baggy clothes. And he's not asking for any of the traditional versions to be eliminated, only that gymnasts have choices. Such as the German women who incorporated full-length unitards into their uniform choices, or USA Gymnastics' decision to allow girls to wear bike shorts over their leotards, there are ways to satisfy all parties. The athletes should have a voice and the right to feel comfortable. From women who are overly sexualized in skimpy beach volleyball outfits or high-cut leotards to swimmers who went from speedos to unitards, change can be found in progress and progress can be found in change. Good for Richard for leading the way. Advertisement Tara Sullivan is a Globe columnist. She can be reached at

His great-grandfather ran the Falmouth Road Race nearly 30 times. On Sunday, James Janulewicz will run it in his memory.
This year, on the same day that his great-grandfather entered the hospital, James received a message from his father, Neil. 'He just texted me that we had got the numbers,' said James. 'I was pretty excited about that.' Advertisement Lynch, a 1950 Boston Latin graduate, ran Falmouth until 2004, collecting his race T-shirts and having them made into a quilt, and is now honored with a brick on the course. He died June 17 at age 92. John "Bump" Lynch had his Falmouth Road Race T-shirts made into a quilt that hung in his home. Courtesy 'He beamed with pride when he talked about James running Falmouth during his last weeks,' Neil Janulewicz said, 'and told my wife and I on one of our visits that he would be cheering James on 'wherever he was.' ' For the Janulewicz family, summer revolves around Falmouth — a tradition that spans generations. Lynch's sister lived in Falmouth, and each summer the family visited for the race. Eventually, he and his wife began renting a house for the month of August. 'As far back as I can remember, every summer we would go to her house and get up crazy early to go watch the race,' Neil said. 'It was tradition.' Advertisement John "Bump" Lynch ran his first Falmouth Road Race in 1978, and his last in 2004. Courtesy The migration to Falmouth each August is not unique to their family. The Falmouth Road Race is an institution, one of the most iconic and popular races in the state. More than 11,000 people are expected to run this year, with around 100 elite athletes competing for prize money, including former Boston Marathon winner Edna Kiplagat, who won Falmouth in 2021, and four-time Olympic medalist Vivian Cheruiyot, who will make her debut. Also debuting is 2021 Olympic steeplechase silver medalist Courtney Frerichs. Started in 1973, the race has raised millions of dollars for nonprofits and the town of Falmouth. 'Last year over $7 million was raised by all these nonprofits through our race,' said Scott Ghelfi, president of Falmouth Road Race Inc. The Falmouth Road Race, shown here in 2018, will feature more than 100 elite runners and 11,000 participants overall. Merrily Cassidy Spectators return year after year, lining the streets, holding signs, and cheering on friends and family as they traverse the 7-mile course from Woods Hole, past Nobska Lighthouse, and along the water to the finish at Falmouth Heights Beach. 'There's a lot of stories that families bought a home in Falmouth because they love the race so much,' said Ghelfi. 'They always want to have a place to come back to so that they can run the race.' Nearly 50 years after his great-grandfather's first Falmouth run, James will finally run the race himself. He has been training every day, running 40 or 50 miles a week, even on his recent family vacation to Italy. He's pushing for the fourth or fifth spot on the cross-country team this year, and is aiming for a 4:30 mile time. Advertisement James Janulewicz is a rising junior on the BC High cross-country team. Courtesy Lynch always supported James as a runner, offering advice before races and meets. At Lynch's funeral, a priest close to the family spoke about how excited Lynch was for James to run Falmouth. 'He's quiet,' Neil said of James, 'but James running is a big deal. Running was a really big part of my grandfather's life.' Race weekend kicks off with a track festival Friday featuring elite high school milers. Saturday features a kids' track event and mascot race. The general field of runners start at 9:04 a.m. from Woods Hole, with the wheelchair division and elite runners starting between 8:40 and 9 a.m. This year marks the 50th running of the wheelchair event, and the first race under new executive director Megan Faulkner, a Falmouth native who first joined the race management team as the health & fitness expo manager in 2012. The race will also celebrate Dr. John Jardine's 25th year as medical director. James and Neil will be running with 'Team Lynch' T-shirts, a tradition started years ago. On the back of Neil's shirt are two words: 'Love, Bump.' 'I'm kind of excited,' James said. 'Just to represent everyone in the family.' The Falmouth Road Race was an integral part of John "Bump" Lynch's life. Courtesy Toby Moses can be reached at
