Ken Ikeda retires

At age-34, after hitting a brilliant P Bar routine, Kenji was mobbed by his teammates. Carried off the competition Floor for the last time. Thanks for all the good years, Ken. 🙂

CDN Olympian – Morgan, Payne or Cournoyer?

Morgan, Payne, and Cournoyer short-listed for Canadian Olympic Team after last day of the 2016 Global News Canadian Championships in Artistic & Trampoline Gymnastics.

… Gymnastics Canada won’t name the one male gymnast who will head to Rio until later this month at the Canadian Trials, so it becomes a waiting game for Payne and the rest of Canada’s elite.

“My shot’s still there… but I still have some work to do if I want to be that guy,” said Payne.”

Most feel Scott Morgan is the favourite. A Worlds Floor finalist in 2013.

Canada was in the same situation 4 years ago. In the end Nathan Gafuik was named the London Olympian.

Irina Alexeeva isn’t yet an American citizen so she’s ineligible to compete at the P&G Gymnastics Championships in St. Louis later this month. So Saturday afternoon’s junior women’s competition at the Secret U.S. Classic in Hartford, Conn., essentially was her national meet, and she created a golden memory here, winning the all-around …

Félix is the most astonishing gymnast in Canada right now. One of the best gymnasts in the world for his age.

Of all the amazing things I saw him do this time around, his drilled Kasamatsu with 2 twists vault in podium training was best. For once coach Adrian Balan was speechless. Nothing to correct.

Working toe point.
