Zoé Allaire-Bourgie, Ellie Black dominate Nationals

If you missed the Canadian Championships this past weekend, one BIG story was Zoé Allaire-Bourgie dominating the Junior competition.

1. Zoé Allaire-Bourgie 113.273
2. Emma Spence 106.449
3. Quinn Skrupa 102.671
4. Rachael Riley 101.924
5. Ilka Juk 101.248
6. Imogen Paterson 101.097

 
Zoé’s not talking YOGs but rather the 2018 Junior Pan American Artistic Gymnastics Championships coming up Jun 9-16 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Ellie won her 5th National title and looked very relaxed doing so. It’s as if she’s got this game figured out.

I’d say the Free Hip version is tougher.

1-arm release for overshoot

I like this drill. It makes the turn easy for beginners.

But once kids are doing the skill on their own to the table of mats, we don’t need emphasize the 1-arm release. It can be closer to simultaneous.

Anna Huber – van Leeuwen to giant

Very cool.

Double twist dismount for the winner.

… I’m still embarrassed for any gymnast who has to change from overgrasp to undergrasp one hand at a time.
