Canada WAG team London

The final training camp complete, here are the 7 girls that will travel to England:

… Talia Chiarelli (Sarnia), Madeline Gardiner, Victoria Moors, Mikaela Gerber (all Cambridge), Kristina Vaculik (Whitby) and Peng Peng Lee (Toronto), … Brittany Rogers ( Vancouver, British Columbia). …

Ready for London!

The competing team will be selected there.

I feel Canada has a very good chance to finish in the top 4 teams, even without the injured Jessica Savona. Blythe thinks they can finish 1st at the Test Event.

Canada’s men’s team flies to London tomorrow. They’re in tough against 6 other equally excellent squads. And Great Britain who should easily finish 1st of the 8 teams.

Gymn.ca:

2010 World team member Bianca Dancose-Giambattisto was in good shape to contend for a spot, but developed wry neck (torticollis). While not a serious condition, she needed five days off training and thus was unable to verify her routines.

2011 World team member Dominique Pegg is still recovering from a hand injury suffered in training at the Pan Am Games.

Why is Dom not part of this?

#2 coach Rick on 12.30.11 at 5:15 pm

I’ve not heard any details. She was at camp.

I’m guessing that injuries may have decided who will go to England.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but did Mikaela return to Saadi?? As far as I know she is still at Oakville.

#4 jj on 12.30.11 at 5:27 pm

One more question: Chiarelli is an American, no?

#5 Beamersluggy on 12.30.11 at 5:37 pm

She is at Oakville but she lives in Cambridge. I think that is what they must of meant.

#6 Beamersluggy on 12.30.11 at 5:42 pm

And Dom’s hand isn’t completely healed so they don’t want her to complete at any big comps yet…according to her twitter feed!

#7 coach Rick on 12.30.11 at 5:51 pm

Thanks for the update on that.

#8 coach Rick on 12.30.11 at 5:51 pm

Yep. Peng and Mikaela at Oakville.

Chiarelli is Canadian, her family have lived in Boston whilst her dad managed the Bruins. How did Sabrina Gill do? Are there actually results from this training camp?

#10 coach Rick on 12.30.11 at 7:14 pm

Sabrina did not attend the camp. … I heard she was invited, but opted to train instead for Olympic trials next year. (Assuming Canada makes it as a team.)

#11 GH on 12.30.11 at 7:28 pm

Talia still lives in Boston. Her dad is still the gm.

#12 Gymnast 46 on 12.30.11 at 7:53 pm

Is Sabrina still at oakville? I read somewhere that she is training at dynamo now?

#13 coach Rick on 12.30.11 at 9:22 pm

Yep. Sabrina is training with Elvira Saadi now.

That is the least flattering leotard I have ever seen. The girls look fat and they are anything but fat.

#15 coachr on 12.30.11 at 11:17 pm

Sabrina is NOT with Kelly?~???!!!!!!!!!WHY?!

#16 coach Rick on 12.30.11 at 11:42 pm

I’ve not heard. Both Sabrina and Jessica Dowling are training at Saadi’s new gym. … Jessica started with Saadi so for her it’s a return.

“That is the least flattering leotard I have ever seen. The girls look fat and they are anything but fat.”

I don’t see how any leotard could hide their builds. Taking the photo from a different angle would’ve helped though.
