Kyle Shewfelt club 40th reunion

Kyle literally grew up at Altadore Gymnastics, spending most of his life there from 1989 to 2004 when he won the Olympics on Floor. (Currently he trains at University of Calgary.)

The highlight of our 40th anniversary was an informal speech by Kyle. He’s a remarkably eloquent and likable speaker. The story of his start in gymnastics at age-6 though to Olympic breakthrough for Canadian gymnastics is heartwarming.

Though girlfriend Melissa, and his Mom and Dad had heard Kyle speak at events like this hundreds of times, they still appreciated this one.

Thanks Stephen Neal for the photos.

If you’ve been following the recovery from an injury at World’s on his personal blog, let me confirm Kyle is walking very well. (But did not jump up on the Power Track to do any tumbling.)
