"I don't want another young gymnast, Olympic athlete, or any individual to experience the horror that I and hundreds of others have endured before, during and continuing to this day," Biles said in her opening statement. "I blame Larry Nassar -- and I also blame an entire system that perpetrated his abuse." Pool Photo by Saul Loeb/UPI
