Gymnasts were required to do 20 or even 30 rope climbs up a 15-foot rope, gymnasts and parents said. Some gymnasts were forced to continue the rope climbs even after the inside of their legs were rubbed raw or bleeding, parents and gymnasts said.
The practice was so well known that, according to Shikuma, coaches in the gym referred to it as the “turkey,” a reference to the Thanksgiving turkeys schoolchildren make with paint-covered handprints.
