Canada’s Jagwear leos
Did you like the gunmetal Canadian leos?
MacLennan went to Rio with four different suits, custom fit and designed for her at this Jagwear Gymnastic Apparel factory – two of them for competition day. In a Rio Games alight with gymnasts wearing trendy bling-encrusted leotards, MacLennan is, by comparison, conservative with the sparkle. Her competition suits are bejewelled with just 1,400 rhinestones each – arranged tight in a maple leaf on the chest and cascading randomly over the rest of the suit, a little like shooting stars. …
Knowing most of their competition in their discipline would be heavily gemmed, Canada’s artistic gymnasts chose the shinier and more expensive Swarovski Crystals. Since they don’t retail, Jagwear won’t estimate a price for the Olympic suits, but say the crystals alone cost about $300 per suit. …

Hancharou’s goal for this competition was Silver.
Hancharou is only age-20. And Trampolinists can stay at the top of their game for a long, long time. 🙂
Trampoline coach Dave Ross
With Rosie‘s repeat Olympic Gold medal in Rio, Dave Ross has now coached athletes who have won a total of 7 Olympic medals.
His club is Skyriders, Toronto. He’s the owner of Rebound Products.
Watch the tears flow when Rosie finds herself atop the score board.
Dave coaches Jason Burnett in today’s Men’s Olympic Trampoline competition. Good luck.
Rosie MacLennan repeats as Olympic Champion
Wow. I’m so thrilled for Rosie. 🙂
In the notoriously unpredictable sport of trampoline–just one bad bounce can send a world-class athlete into last place–it’s much easier to fly into the top ranks of the sport than to stay there. Rosannagh, or Rosie, MacLennan of Canada proved it wasn’t impossible, however, when she became the first trampoline athlete to win two golds at an Olympics. …
Finishing third was Li Dan of China, the 2015 world champion. In fourth place was He, the gold medalist in Beijing and bronze medalist in London.
Chinese athletes have a streak of winning medals in women’s gymnastics going back to 2004.
5 female gymnast flag bearers
Amanda Turner:
Artistic gymnasts Ana Sofía Gómez (Guatemala), Catalina Ponor (Romania), and Giulia Steingruber (Switzerland), rhythmic gymnast Neta Rivkin (Israel) and trampolinist Rosie MacLennan (Canada) were selected as standard bearers as the 2016 Olympic Games kick off in Rio.
It is a record number for gymnastics to have five flag bearers at the Olympic Parade of Nations. Gymnasts often skip the Opening Ceremonies as qualification begins on the first day, and hours of queuing and marching in the summer heat is not ideal right before competition. However, the weather in Rio de Janeiro, where it is winter, has been mild. …
Charlotte Drury update
😦
Charlotte Drury spent nearly seven years preparing for the Rio Olympics, and now she’s not sure if she’ll even watch them. …
The broken bone in her right ankle and the black boot covering it are a constant reminder of how close she came to representing the United States as its top trampoline gymnast.
“It was devastating, it still is devastating,” Drury said recently. …
Can you survive the crushing feeling of seeing your Olympic dream die?
African Championships Namibia
I’d love to attend this meet once again. And Namibia is my favourite nation in Africa as a tourist. 🙂
August 27 – 3 September 3rd, 2016.
