Many would rate MyKayla Skinner as having had the better season … but MyKayla is controversial. That may have turned off some voters.

If you need to move or store landing mats regularly, consider this large portable mat from Tumble Air.

the main downside of inflatable over foam is durability. Foam lasts much longer during average use.
The main advantage is portability.
The University of Calgary International Cup Finals were quite good this year. Many of the guys hit better than in qualifying.

The final routine late night at the University of Calgary International preliminary competition was veteran Anderson Loran. He got the (tired) crowd pumped up with this hit.
Scott Morgan was the most excited fan in the Gym. He’s running the Gymnastics Canada snapchat LIVE coverage.

The 2020 Men’s Code of Points on Floor is resulting in routines just as ugly as the 2016 Code. Gymnasts rushing through only attempting to maximize D-score.
One guy with control and style is Canadian Junior Darren Wong from Phoenix, Vancouver. Coached by Sasha Pozdniakov who loves good basics.

Canada has far fewer summer Camps than the USA. Our biggest is GymRep in Montreal. With heightened border security in the USA 2017, consider friendly Canada as an alternative.
My home Province now has 3 very good residential options.

I’ve coached at the first two Camps and can personally recommend both. And I’m planning to travel to Pine Valley to get involved with the launch. The Kriangkum family has been putting this together for years. When comparing costs consider accommodation, food and activities. All three Camps are excellent value.
