Isabela Onyshko is Canadian Champion
A very strong finals competition. Congratulations to all the Seniors who competed in the Olympic trial.
Isabela’s 15.10 Beam was one of the very best Beam routines I’ve seen over the past several years. (Canadian judges have never been accused of over-scoring at home.)
1. Isabela Onyshko 58.550 (24.0 D score)
2. Ellie Black 56.650 … fall on Bars
3. Rose-Kaying Woo 55.375
4. Shallon Olsen 55.025
5. Megan Roberts 54.950
6. Madison Copiak 54.700
7. Sabrina Gill 54.475
8. Maegan Chant 54.050
9. Kirsten Peterman 53.475
10. Victoria-Kayen Woo 53.200
Brittany Rogers – 14.950 Vault 2nd … looks GREAT
Most consider Bela and Ellie locks. The Olympic team will be built around them.
Like other nations with depth, there are multiple scenarios with resulting team scores very close together.
Therefore the most consistent gymnasts are most likely to get the call. Especially the lead off Beam and Bar routines in qualifications.
I understand 12 gymnasts will be invited to the final trial in Quebec end of the month. And I’m happy I’m not a selector. 🙂
Go Canada!

#GymCdnChamps Finals preview
Lauren Hopkins:
2012 Olympian Ellie Black, the 20-year-old from Halifax who has lead her Canadian team so strongly all quad, will compete in tonight’s all-around final at the 2016 Canadian Championships, hoping to earn her fourth national title in a row. …
The competition will be tough this year, however, with 17-year-old Isabela Onyshko right on her heels. Onyshko has been on fire all year, upgrading and consistently hitting routines to win the senior titles at Elite Canada and Gymnix early on before also snagging the silver medal at the Stuttgart World Cup. …
Finals go Friday night.
Ellie is not close to 100%. She was super happy to finish the prelims meet so successfully.
Rose-Laying Woo is back to about 90% healthy. She’s had a sore back for months. Doctor says she should be completely pain free in about a month.
All eyes will be Shallon Olsen, the favourite on Vault. She’s been competing DTY for years. Hoping to upgrade in this Final.

Impressive considering Ellie had not put in all the routines she’d wanted in advance of Nationals due to a minor ankle injury.
