Ellie Black – 2 1/2 twist to 2/1 twist

I’ve never seen a male gymnast tumble step out of 2 1/2 twist. That’s cool.

In fact Ellie’s entire Floor routine is interesting and entertaining.

She’s got a cool Vault too. Handspring front pike 1/1. (5.9)

She’s coached by Keiji Yamanaka in Nova Scotia. David Kikuchi helps. 🙂

The depth in Canada right now is unprecedented. Everybody — even those returning from injury, like Jessica Savona (torn ACL in July) and Dominique Pegg (broken hand in October) — looked fit and competitive at Gymnix. Roughly estimated, there are 15 gymnasts in Canada with a shot at making the Olympic team. What a shame that only five can go.
