Canadian Team to Worlds 2017
Though Lauren Hopkins didn’t attend Canadian Championships in person, she’s written up a very complete report on that competition. Forecasting potential teams to Worlds.
Going forward, the Canadian seniors will focus on the Pan American Championships in Peru this August, and then Black, Onyshko, Woo, Rogers, Olsen, and Moors will contend for the four competitive and two alternate spots available at this year’s world championships in Montreal.
Right now, I think Black and Olsen are the two locks, and I think the other two will end up being Onyshko and Rogers if both end up in better shape later this summer, though Woo and Moors would be equally justifiable.
I think Woo and Onyshko will end up going head-to-head for the second all-around spot behind Black. …

interview with Max Whitlock
The temptation you wish you could resist… Trainers. I designed some when I was sponsored by Adidas and it became a passion. I have 80-100 pairs.
The piece of wisdom you would pass on to a child… Set yourself goals. My mother and father, Madeleine and Brian, taught me that.
The book that holds an everlasting resonance… Achieve The Impossible by Professor Greg Whyte. It teaches you how to achieve by setting targets and believing in yourself.
The priority activity if you were the Invisible Man for a day… Japan’s Kohei Uchimura is the greatest gymnast of all time, but he’s secretive, so I’d watch him train. …
I don’t often link to that rag. But this interview was too good to pass up.
A Canadian coach recently visited Japan and had a chance to see Kohei training alone. He’s being coached by a former teammate.
They keep the Gym temperature high as Kohei likes to train in a warm environment.
