Gymnix Invitational – a review

#gymnix2015

Surprisingly, this was my first time attending this important competition, one I follow online every year. It’s easily the best meet in the nation.

The BIG gym is gorgeous. The only podium competition in Canada, including Nationals.

Gym B has a mini-podium for Floor. A very nice touch for the younger girls aspiring to compete, one day, in the main Hall.

Gymnova Canada, based out of Montreal, do a terrific job equipping the meet.

Of course the famed Gymnix club is in the same sports facility. Team Canada held a training camp here the week prior to the 2015 meet.

The highlight of Gymnix is the the Junior International Cup, one of the best Junior team competitions in the world. The 2015 edition was super. I hope Marta Karolyi’s successor decides to send an American Jr Team.

Unlike most of the “rest of Canada”, Quebec is not switching over to the American Jr Olympic rules. Happy with their WAG program now, Quebec remains separate and distinct.

WiFi is free at the Claude-Robillard Sports Complex, but as in most big venues tends to crap out when too many spectators are logged in to one router at the same time. Have a data plan if you want to be sure to connect from the venue.

Merci boucoup @IntlGymnix. Thanks for the hard work of your staff and volunteers.
