Though Kyle Shewfelt sat out the official competition, in the training gym he was hitting routine after routine on 4 apparatus. Workouts have been great all week, Kyle told me.
Add Olympic Floor medal threat Brandon O’Neill who looked great, but did not compete, AA.
Bottom line — Canada will be strong in Beijing. The final Olympic training squad will be named after the second day of competition.
