After a weird and horrific injury (two broken knee caps) in training at World Championships 2007, many thought there was no way the Olympic Floor Champion from 2004 would be in Beijing to defend his title.
Yet he is scheduled to compete at the Canadian National Championships in his home town Calgary in early June. All eyes will be on him.
… Beijing, Shewfelt says, is no longer a dream, but an obsession, something he thinks about every minute of the day. He’s careful to dampen the expectations, adding that it will be a victory just to be in China and compete. But one senses that in his mind, Shewfelt is already thinking of the next good landing, and another trip up the podium.
“When I’m prepared and I trust myself, I can deliver,” he says. “I’ve never once missed a routine in Olympic competition.”
