CTV News: ‘We just want change’

For Amelia Cline, gymnastics had always been a part of her life. Training since the age of two, she quickly reached national levels by the age of six, fulfilling her dreams as a professional athlete. However, she says her aspirations were cut short after experiencing years of verbal and physical abuse within the sport.

Cline is among several former gymnasts filing a class-action lawsuit over allegations of physical and sexual abuse within programs under Gymnastics Canada. Provincial governing bodies in B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec were also named in the lawsuit filed on Wednesday.
