Olympian Gael Mackie looks strong and confident at the Canadian Championships. She had a good competition in preliminaries (except for a fall on beam) and finished 5th.
Gael’s always been great. But has suffered from injuries. Many have questioned whether her training regime in the past has been too demanding.
Injuries nearly derailed Gael’s dreams of competing at the 2004 Olympics but she ultimately won a spot on the team. At the Olympics, Gael competed on uneven bars and helped the team to a 10th place finish.
Since the Olympics Gael has added to her international resume by qualifying for event finals on uneven bars World Cup meets in Ghent, Belgium and Glasgow, Scotland.
Like her teammates, Gael is working hard on new routines as she looks ahead to the 2006 Commonwealth Games, 2007 Pan American Games and 2008 Olympics.
Gael’s also looking forward to an NCAA scholarship at Utah after that.
Good luck!
