You can click through for scores. But this the youngest division has HUGE bonus points which make the actual numbers difficult to compare.
Following the competition I spoke with Canadian National Team Director Dave Brubaker. He was pleased with the quality and depth of young gymnasts across the country. The National Aspire training camps are helping. Plans are to expand that program and better detail the camp curriculum.
Quinn is a teammate of Isabela Onyshko in Brandon, population 46,061. Actually it’s 46,060 as Isabela lives out of town in Minnedosa, population 2,474. 🙂
