Great West Gym Fest 2009

Ends today.

Still my favourite competition anywhere.

We were honoured to have Valeri Liukin attend with his AWESOME WOGA kids.

I posted photos to our club flickr account.

And a few to the GWGF Facebook page.

We finally got 2004 Olympic Floor Champion Kyle Shewfelt down for the meet this year. He was a HIT with one and all, truly one of the best spokespersons for our sport.

Kyle was celebrity Olympian along with Shannon Miller, Jason Gatson and others.

Congratulations to Meet Director Dave Adlard and his funtastic team of volunteers. I’ll be there next year, for sure, Dave.

I put up a (roughly edited) Great West Gym Fest video on YouTube which gives you a flavour of the CRAZY FUN we have at this competition.

… Of all the amazing features of this meet, most amazing of all was the logistics of running 6 Sessions in one day.

That’s less than 2hrs / session! (Obviously judges are not allowed to go to the bathroom.)

Have you ever heard of another meet that runs 6 flights of competitors in one day ??
