Canadian Trampoline Championships

Jon Schwaiger of Caledonia, ON repeated his double gold-medal performance from 2018, taking gold in both senior men’s tumbling and DMT for another year.

β€œThe competition went pretty well for both,” said Schwaiger who captured his eighth-consecutive senior tumbling title this weekend. β€œI went four for four on both (apparatus) which is really all you can hope for, and I also set a new difficulty record on DMT on my first pass. Looking forward to Worlds, my plan is to just clean up some of my passes, and up the difficulty in the straight passes and just get them more confident and consistent.”

Canada’s RenΓ© Cournoyer was a close 4th.

Though I’m sad for RenΓ©, I couldn’t be happier for my man Cory Patterson.

I’ve been a fan of Cory’s for many, many years. Persistence and consistency. He comes from a great family.
