All complaints into alleged abuse in gymnastics will now be handled independently of the sport’s governing body. All complaints to Gymnastics New Zealand’s Safe Sport email mechanism will now be re-directed to the Sport New Zealand’s Independent Complaints Mechanism (ICM), which will be handled independently by Dyhrberg Drayton Employment Law. Getty Images Gymnastics New Zealand chief executive Tony Compier is stepping away from handling complaints associated with alleged abuse in his sport. “This is an important review for the athletes concerned, Gymnastics NZ as the governing body and the entire gymnastic community,” he said. Dr Georgia Cervin, a leading researcher in gymnastics, has welcomed the independent process and congratulates GNZ on listening to the gymnastics community.
