Elite Canada goes virtual

Some of the top gymnasts in Canada are still locked out. Not training.

Hopefully the National team selection process will take this into account.

There will be three virtual competitions in Women’s Artistic Gymnastics held this spring, starting with Elite Canada.
VIDEO SUBMISSION: February 3-9, 2021
JUDGING: February 12-14, 2021
We are still investigating options for making routines available for viewing following the competitions …

Good call, in my opinion. Canada is a huge nation and travel is a pain at the best of times.

Also, compared with the USA, there are far fewer elite gymnasts to evaluate for selection on to National Teams.

Except this cuts out the province of Ontario since gyms are closed until February 10 at the earliest.

In Ontario existing HP WAG (Tokyo age eligible athletes) are permitted to train under stay at home orders.

  Thanks Mike. I’m not sure they are in Alberta or Manitoba. Hopefully I’m wrong.

    No training in Manitoba until recently, but only for one athlete – you have to already be carded. Sad for the young hopefuls or up and comers as no training here since Nov 1st.
