A decorated gymnast recounted the “eerie” environment at a USA Gymnastics training site during the sentencing for former Michigan State University doctor Larry Nassar Tuesday.

The Karolyi Ranch in Huntsville, Texas has been used for many years as a training site for U.S. Olympic gymnasts, and has been mentioned by several gymnasts during Nassar’s sentencing as a location where they were assaulted.
