update – Jurassic Classic Gymnastics

Notes from Jurassic …

I love the venue — Jack Simpson gymnasium at University of Calgary — used by the hosts of the Jurassic Classic Gymnastics Invitational, one of Canada’s largest meets.

The equipment is excellent. AAI.

This despite the fact that one of the AAI trucks was delayed crossing into the Canadian border.

On the other hand … at least 6 coaches told me today, “This is the last time I’m ever coming to Jurassic.”

Why?

The competition flights take over 4hrs. Girls wait an hour between routines, at times.

At the recent Great West Gym Fest, the flights last about 2hrs. GWGF schedules 6 flights a day. Jurassic only 3.

Thanks to Jurassic organizers, despite the complaints. And THANKS especially to the judges. It’s not a fun meet to work.
