Alyssa Baumann withdraws from trials
Alyssa Baumann Injured, Withdraws from Olympic Trials
Terrible timing.
Alyssa is one of those inspiring future generations of gymnasts around the world.
Jazzy Foberg, Bailie Key and Norah Flately will not be competing. Gymnastics is a dangerous sport. At any one time a high percentage of gymnasts are injured. 😦

inspirational quotes spoken by gymnasts
USOC revokes credentials for FloSports
The USOC has revoked Olympics and U.S. Olympic trials credentials for sports media startup FloSports for publishing video footage of several Olympics trials events. NBCUniversal owns exclusive rights to Olympics and team-selection events …
FloSports CEO & co-Founder Martin Floreani disputes the charge and criticized the USOC. …
FloSports (including FloGymnastics) is a for profit company often criticized for pushing the limits of what’s legal and what’s ethical.
FloGymnastics has certainly improved over the years. But many are reluctant to link to FloGymnastics as they almost never link back.
8 CDN Olympians to Rio

TRAMPOLINE: Rosie MacLennan & Jason Burnett

Shallon Olsen & Rose Woo – Olympians
Isabela Onyshko, Brittany Rogers & Ellie Black were named first.
Shallon & Rose must complement that team.
Shallon will almost certainly compete Vault and Floor in 3-up, 3-count (assuming Canada makes the top 8 teams).
Rose will almost certainly compete Beam.
Reserves:
Megan Roberts
Madison Copiak
The alternates should be strong AA gymnasts. Megan and Maddie are. Either could be moved up to the competing team on any apparatus. They’ll train the same way as the team right up to Rio.
Congratulations to all the coaches and athletes who qualified through to the deepest Canadian Olympic team ever.

Nabs can still pull together a Bars routine when she needs it. 🙂
