Canadian Gymnastics in 2026

It’s Canada Day, July 1, 2026.

You can join a very active Fans of Canadian Gymnastics page on Facebook.

I’d say this is Canada’s strongest quadrennial for men’s Gymnastics. Even stronger than the Kyle Shewfelt teams.

And it’s very strong for the Canadian women’s team as well, with Ellie Black training for her 5th Olympics. New star Lia-Monica Fontaine, young and improving.

The WAG team has depth. Canada needs Beam and Bars routines scoring 14+. Many will be working towards filling those spots.

Most likely quite similar to what you do. The one unusual bit is teaching the preflight to straight handstand with head “buried”. Most coaches use a slight arch with the head up, and don’t go as high as handstand.

In recent years I’ve been eliminating the arm circle altogether. And finding β€” that way β€” that kids end up with a smaller arm circle in the end.
