Japanese Olympic team named.
Kenzo Shirai will make his first Olympic journey this summer to Rio de Janeiro as he secured his place along with Yusuke Tanaka and Koji Yamamuro on Sunday following the national apparatus championships, which serve as Japan’s final qualifying event. …
Performances from the national championships in April and the NHK Cup in May were also taken into account by the Japan Gymnastics Association to choose the best possible members for the team event. …
46 National Championships in series
Dave Copeland. Canada.
Hardy Fink on the right has attended more Worlds & Olympics than any other FIG judge, MAG or WAG. But he did miss a few Canadian Nationals. 🙂
Both men represent the dedication and commitment of our officials. Certainly they don’t do it for the money nor the praise.
Coaching courses Vancouver
This is cool. We’ve got Phoenix Gym Club empty for back-to-back coaching courses. Canadian coaches can register for one or the other, but not both.
Competition 1 (C1) MAG and WAG – June 23-26, 2016
Competition 2 (C2) MAG and WAG – June 27-30, 2016
The C2 is a pilot course. Training for clinicians will be run simultaneously. Contact your Provincial office if you are interested in teaching these courses.

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?
… 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.
