Brittany Rogers:
“Obviously the results of these Games weren’t what we all wanted,” Rogers said about Canada’s near miss on the team finals. “It definitely lit a fire in me to continue on with elite gymnastics.”
In the near future, Rogers will return to Athens at the end of August and finish up her degree. …
Looking further away, Rogers has a plan for wrapping her gymnastics career.
“I’m not sure what competitions I will be assigned to from the Canadian team as those will be discussed after the Games are over,” Rogers said. “I plan to continue training and help out with the team in Georgia any way I can and be ready for whatever competitions I get assigned to by Gymnastics Canada. My goal is to be able to compete in the World Championships in Montreal in 2017 and perhaps retire on home soil.”
