Ellie Black does NOT have retirement scheduled
Despite this misleading headline, Ellie is not planning to quit after Tokyo.
HOW ELLIE BLACK ENVISIONS HER SWAN SONG AT TOKYO 2020
Already a two-time Olympian and one of Canada’s best female gymnasts ever, it’s easy to wonder when she might be done.
And Black at just 23-years-old is used to facing questions about when she’ll hang up her grips.
“I don’t even know what I’m doing tomorrow, basically,” Black said with a laugh Saturday. …
“I always say age is just a number,” said Black.
That’s something the Nova Scotia-native proved as she’s continued to get better, year-after-year. …
“As long as I’m enjoying gymnastics and I’m loving what I’m doing, why not keep doing it?”
