Western Canadian Gymnastics Championships

Westerns this year are being held in conjunction with two other major events. May 5-8th.

BC Gymnaestrada and the Delta Invitational.

Over 1800 participants hosted at the Olympic Oval in Vancouver.

That’s almost certainly the biggest Gymnastics event ever hosted in Canada. 🙂 Fans can pay one admission price and see all 3 events. Cool.

UPDATE – Gymnaestrada tickets are sold out.

This “BEST OF THE WEST GYMNASTICS FESTIVAL” will have LIVE streaming.

Thanks Chris.

Trinidad approves Marisa Dick for Olympics

Worst case scenario would have been neither gymnast going to Rio.

Good luck Marisa.

And despite the controversy over the manner of Williams’ deselection—on the eve of the Test event—the Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee (TTOC) ruled today, in a press conference at the Olympic House in Port of Spain, that Dick will go. …

Yet, even as Lewis endorsed Dick, he suggested that the TTGF could be disciplined under Clause 13 of its constitution—which is entitled “Measures and Sanctions”—and lamented the position that the TTOC found itself in. It is the first time that the TTOC has ever invoked that clause.

“It is a dark cloud over the Trinidad and Tobago Olympic movement,” said Lewis. “Public confidence in the governance of sport has been shaken… We deplore the situation that the ttoc has found itself in.”
