Tricia Woo – Beam & Circus

On a recent GymCastic podcast, we were reminded that Tricia was one of the best and most unique Beam competitors all time.

Unsurprisingly, she went on to Circus. And is currently performing in KÀ in Vegas.

Canadian MAG Championships VIRTUAL

Canadian Nationals are typically scheduled end of May. Because of Covid, they were rescheduled for November 2021 in the hope they could be LIVE in Montreal.

A 4th wave evolved due to the Delta variant — so they were once again online.

Not all MAG gymnasts competed. Many did not do the AA. Some from Worlds in Japan were yet to get back to routines. But here are a few of the names to watch for in future.

Victor Canuel (École les Dynamix, QC) Junior 14-15 

Kai Iwaasa (Vancouver Phoenix Gymnastics, BC) Junior 16-18

Félix Blaquière (Centre Père Sablon, QC) Next Gen Senior

Chris Kaji (Gymnastics Mississauga, ON) Senior – Worlds competitor
