Canada will not attend PanAms
Though I feel rotten for the Canadian athletes who trained an extra year for their last shot at qualifying for Tokyo, I agree with this decision.
As you know, in recent days Canada has had the worst COVID numbers of any English speaking nation in the world.
Gymnastics Canada has made the very difficult decision to not enter teams in the upcoming 2021 Senior Pan American Championships being held in Rio de Janeiro, BRA between June 4-13, 2021 and the 2021 Junior Pan American Championships slated for Guadalajara, MEX (artistic), and Guatemala City, GUA (rhythmic) due to health and safety concerns resulting from the COVID-19 global pandemic. …
The Senior Pan American Championships were Canada’s last chance qualifier event for the Tokyo Olympic Games in men’s artistic, women’s artistic, and rhythmic gymnastics. …
“We realize the impact these decisions have on our athletes, especially those senior athletes that have dedicated so many years to their ambition of competing at the Olympic Games,” added Moss. “We will do everything we can not only to support all athletes and coaches impacted by this decision through this difficult period, but to also provide hope and opportunity moving forward towards their international goals in the future.”
Athletes and coaches did have the opportunity to appeal this decision, and GymCan went through the Sport Dispute Resolution Centre of Canada (SDRCC) arbitration process with these individuals to show transparency around the decision. The result of that appeal, which ruled in GymCan’s favour, was delivered to all parties on May 6th, 2021.

coaches ‘selling or spoiling’ sport
Wayne Smith is one of the most thoughtful and outspoken pundits on coaching.
Coaches and Officials – more than anyone else – are directly responsible for whether your sport succeeds or fails.
Coaches and Officials can be powerful and effective advocates for all the wonderful things your sport has to offer.
And they can be just as influential in contributing to the demise and even complete destruction of your sport.
So the question is: Are your coaches and officials Spoiling Sport or Selling Sport? …
