Over 600 gymnasts have been competing at the huge Olympic Oval in my home town Calgary. Today it ends, culminating in apparatus finals in Artistic and Trampoline sports.
I’ve been attending Nationals for about 30yrs. This is the best ever, in my opinion.
Congratulations to Scott Hayes and everyone at Gymnastics Alberta. To the hundreds of volunteers. To the organizing committee.
I particularly liked trampoline sports — power tumbling, double-mini, trampoline — being front and centre. Canadian coaches have done a fantastic job building the sport across the country and rarely get the recognition they deserve from the media.
Kids bussed in on school field trips liked trampoline sports best, I noted.
