The best story out of the Canada Winter Games men’s competition, so far, was the medals battle in the team competition between BC, Ontario and Québec:
… With one competitor remaining on each apparatus, it was too close to call between the three provinces. …
Québec was victorious, mainly due to a superb performance on Vault.
It’s been many years since Québec was the team to beat in Canada.
… The end of this drought is something Jeff Thomson, men’s program director at Gymnastics Canada, believes is very positive for the sport and for the province of Québec: “Québec has a long and proud history of producing some of Canada’s best male gymnasts. It’s wonderful to once again see the province rising to the top of the podium.”
The gold winning team members from Québec are: Mathieu Csukassy, David Boucher, Samuel Paquin, Julien Samson, Jean Begin-Rainville, Matthew Halickman and Cedric Marcil. They are coached by Martin Bordeleau and Denis Privé. …
