Almost everyone recognizes Carol-Angela, coach of Elyse Hopfner-Hibbs who won beam bronze in Aarhus 2006. She was long time coach at the now defunct Seneca, Toronto.
Carol-Angela left Canada for the U.K. after the 2008 Olympics, and married Eddie Van Hoof, British men’s technical director.
I’m not at all surprised to see this official announcement:
British Gymnastics is delighted to announce the appointment of former Canadian National Technical Advisor Carol-Angela Orchard to the role of Women’s National Coach – Beam & Artistic Preparation. …
… Carol-Angela prides herself on innovation and has the honour of creating 5 original elements on Beam & Floor named by the FIG after her gymnasts, and included in the official Code of Points. …
Good call.
