Prince Albert, Saskatchewan?
Is that a real place?
It sure is. I’ve spent a lot of time in P.A., over the years, and am making a return this weekend. Our girls from Gymnastics Adventure are competing the Lights Camera Action Aerials Invitational (PDF)
Head Coach Mike Amouri has an amazing facility up in a remote town you’ve likely never heard of. 🙂
It’s a 4hr drive straight North. Flat.
For the most advanced girls it’s trials for Western Canadian Gymnastics Championship, Vancouver BC. (PDF)
Westerns, this year, also offers an “Invitational” for girls P3 and up who did not qualify for the competition itself. That goes on the Sunday following.

Tweddle, who scored 15.900 in qualificiation, did not connect her planned back-to-back transitions of toe-full to toe-on Tkatchev-half to Yezhova into a Maloney-half. But the three-time world champion still pulled out a victory, scoring 15.125 over China’s Jiang Yuyuan (14.875). Hoping for an Olympic victory in London this summer, Tweddle could follow in the tradition of He Kexin, who won the bars title in Doha in 2008, a few months before taking gold in Beijing. …
