Gymnastics Australia has apologised "unreservedly" to all athletes after the report's release
An independent inquiry into gymnastics in Australia says it has uncovered a culture of physical, emotional and sexual abuse in the sport.
The Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) found that bullying and body-shaming were prevalent at elite levels.
Gymnastics Australia, which commissioned the review last year, called the findings "confronting".
"Gymnastics Australia unreservedly apologises to all athletes and family members who have experienced any form of abuse participating in the sport," it said in a statement.
"We also thank the athletes and other community members who engaged in the review process and acknowledge their bravery in doing so."
