Gymnastics Canada to train in England

June 29 – Waveney Gymnastics Club in Lowestoft have pulled off a coup by signing a deal for Canada’s team to base themselves there before the London 2012 Olympics.

Jeff Thomson, the technical director for men’s artistic gymnastics at Gymnastics Canada, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the club, having agreed to use the venue as their base in the build up to the Games.

Canada first welcomed to Waveney in September 2009 when the men’s team spent 10 days there in preparation for the 2009 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, held at the O2 Arena, the same venue will be used for London 2012.

The club is one of only a few to be wholly equipped for men’s and women’s artistic gymnastics with Gymnova equipment, the named equipment manufacturer for gymnastics at London 2012.

In March Azerbaijan agreed with Ipswich for its full team to train there. …

Last week the Pegasus Gymnastics Club in Maidstone signed a deal for Slovenia to train there. …
