Canada Games Gymnastics begins

This multi-sport competition for ‘younger’ competitors is kind of a big deal in Canada. It’s a blast to participate.

Competition starts today.

But if you know nothing about this meet you might be interested to know how absurd are the rules.

PEI (population 141,551), Yukon (population 34,246), and Newfoundland (population 509,200) must each field a team to compete against Ontario (population 13,000,000) and Quebec (population 8,000,000).

There are more people in the Toronto subway than in all of Yukon.

Does that sound fair to you?

I’ve worked with gymnast from those smaller Provinces at training camps. My advice: … try to beat Ontario on the execution score. … Don’t worry about difficulty.

Good luck to everyone in Halifax.
