Tumbling and 'the talk' now part of gymnastics, says Raisman


(Reuters) - For young gymnasts heading to summer camp it is no longer just fun and games - it also means having "the talk", said three-time Olympic champion Aly Raisman as the sport continues to come to grips with sexual abuse scandals.

Three years after ex-USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar was sentenced to hundreds of years in prison for molesting young female gymnasts, the nightmare resurfaced last month when former-national team coach John Geddert was charged with sexual assault and human trafficking.
