Canadians love the warm weather. Many, over the years, have gone to UCLA. (Yvonne Tousek, Kate Richardson)
Elyse Hopfner-Hibbs and Marci Bernholtz, Canadian National Team members, were planning to defer enrollment with UCLA until 2008-09.
Canada did not qualify a full team to the Beijing Olympics. Will both still train for Olympic qualification? Or start preparing for the NCAA?
… Hopfner-Hibbs, who will defer enrollment at UCLA until the 2008-09 school year, won the bronze medal on balance beam at the 2006 World Championships, becoming the first Canadian woman ever to win a medal at the World Championships. …
Bernholtz, who will be competing in her second consecutive World Championships, is the 2007 Canadian national champion on the uneven bars and the bronze medalist in the all-around and on balance beam. She was also a double bronze-medalist at the 2005 National Championships, placing third in the all-around and on floor exercise, and an alternate at the 2004 Olympic Games.

I think that Elyse will continue with her previous plan, with Marci re-evaluating it. I personally would like to see both go to UCLA and still train for the Olympics just like Kate did.
