Olympic Gymnast Kyle Shewfelt retires

It’s official. The most successful Canadian gymnast in history is retiring after 3 Olympics Games.

“… Starting right away, I am excited to be moving into an ambassador role with Gymnastics Canada where I will have the opportunity to promote the sport and have an impact on a whole new generation of Olympic gymnasts.
