The Caquotto sisters get a new gym and a new drama

Mackenzie and Bridgey Caquatto are on the move. Their coaches Jiani Wu and Yeujiu Li (Anna Li’s parents) have opened their own gym just down the street from Naperville gymnastics and the girls have decided to pack up their leotard’s and make the long trip down the street to train with them. This would be minor news in the gym world if the soap opera behind the move wasn’t so damn interesting:)

The Soap Opera starts on GGMB where a mini fight is going on between a gym website creator and a friend of the owner of Naperville Gymnastics. The gym website girl (or guy) claims that the coaches are saints that have been mis-treated by the mean evil Gym owner. The friend claims that the coaches are something or other. The girl talks in tongues so it is hard to even figure out what the hell she is saying.

Here is my summary of what I have read. From now on Jiani Wu and Yeujiu Li will be called the coaches. Saves me time in spelling.lol

The Caquatto sisters used to train at Arials and when their coach was lured away the Caquatto sisters followed them to Naperville. Something happened at that gym and here is how it was explained on GGMB

Jiani Wu was not fired from her gym. She quit while the owners were in Boston with their athlete. On Sunday following the meet, the owner Patrice confronted Wu and told her she was not welcome back on their property. She also told her “shame on you” for something I was not privy to. But I was there when Wu was confronted and heard the whole thing. And all of the coaches on the floor of trials knew what was going on. Peter and Chow were overheard giving Wu a tongue lashing over dinner at trials. Whatever happened must have been serious for the owners to get rid of a national team member. And the younger sister is even better and an upcomer.

I know the owners. Good people. One of the good guys. They coached the Caquatto sisters for 8 years. Wu coached them for 3. She is not solely responsible for anyones rise to fame in that gym. Look to see that Wu’s former gym, Aerial Gymnastics, has been open since 1977. Look to see who they have produced. Now, look to see who Wu or Naperville Gymnastics has produced.

Wu and the mother of the Caquatto sisters attempted a mutiny on the Aerial gym. They all became to big for their britches. The Caquatto’s were kicked out when they returned from trials. They were referred to as the “Wu and Caquatto show” while at Aerial. Now it will be the same gig at the Naperville gym.

I know people/parents at the Aerial gym who have said that they are already better off.

Back in 2008 the Jiani was not allowed on the floor at the Olympic trials. No one is sure why. One explanation given is that Marta didn’t want them there. “”spousal” conflict to disadvantage ” is how one person put it.

The owner of Naperville gymnastics is bitter that he doesn’t get any credit for the success of the Caquatto sisters and this said gym owner has been making the coaches lives miserable for months so they decided to open their own gym. The owner tried to get the coaches to sign something saying they can’t open a gym for 25 miles of the Naperville gym but they refused (smart people)

Now I wish I could elaborate more but it seems that GGMB or someone at GGMB has deleted some comments. I remember reading something about the alternates at the Olympics not being in China because of something having to do with this but that part is missing from the comments.

NONE of this is fact. These are opinions of certain posters at GGMB and all of their opinions are their right and their responsibility so don’t sue me.

Now my opinion is that gymnastics is pretty political and it wouldn’t surprise me to hear that the Caquatto mom is a ” gym mom”. Or she could be a caring mother but something id definitely fishy about the girls leaving Aerials gym. You don’t just fire coaches for no reason. Then again we just don’t know if she was fired or quit.

What a crazy sport.lol
