Maegan Chant lands a back full on beam

Grace answered a few questions on Facebook:

Heaven had very recent surgery on a broken bone in her foot from a 2011 car accident.

Aleeza repeated her FX routine because Elena protested that she was hearing overlapping music being played.

It was the announcer’s mistake that Vic was named 3rd instead of Maegan. Corrected on Saturday.

Blast from the past.

I was pleased NOT to have a media credential for NCAA Championships 2013.

They’ve got a thousand rules restricting what you can do. I know none of those rules. Most come from Football and Basketball.

One rule I liked, however, was restricting visual media on the Floor to this tiny box.

Having those guys roaming far and wide distracts from the competition.

First-ever male gymnast to get the cover of Inside Gymnastic’s annual 50 Most Photogenic issue.

The Globe and Mail in Canada is supposed to be a respectable, serious newspaper. Though one oft criticized for lousy sports reporting.

Figure skater Kaetlyn Osmond makes front page, uproar ensues online

Kaetlyn Osmond was celebrated by Canadians over the weekend after putting herself into medal contention at the World Figure Skating Championships in London, Ont. The 17-year-old native of Marystown, N.L., finished eighth but earned Canada another spot at the 2014 Olympics in Sochi.

Toronto Sun

The Public editor of the Globe reacted quickly – Monday’s front page photo was unacceptable

I agree, though …

In an interview with Maurie Sherman on Toronto radio station Kiss 92.5 … Kaetlyn Osmond said she was thrilled to be on the front page and wasn’t bothered by the photo.

“Truthfully I don’t mind the photo. It’s part of my program and it’s fun… Our skirts go flying all the time. We’re used to it.”

Certainly we see far, far worse photos of Artistic Gymnasts in popular media.

Let’s continue to call out those in the media who deliberately choose crotch shot photos.

Thanks Claudine.

Grace Chiu is posting some pics on Facebook.

Brigid McCarthy is there — but why she’d leave sunny Australia for the cold and snow of Montreal, I have no idea — and posted notes on podium training for the Jr Russians, Romanians and Canadians.

JUNIOR WOMEN’S ALL-AROUND Elite Canada

1. Shallon Olsen 56.950
2. Heaven Latimer 55.125
3. Aleeza Yu 54.725

Junior and Senior results MAG and WAG are posted on IG.

In the first competition of a quadrennial, the top Juniors are the girls to start tracking for Olympics 2016.

Canada is strong right now.

… But not quite as strong as the scores indicate. Canada used a bonus system for this meet.

Here’s another of the great pics Grace posted on Facebook.
