Scores were missing from the official results. Happily Stu Cram got almost all and put an easy-to-use summary on Gym Score Depot.

Tony Smith felt the MAG apparatus finals were as good as he could recall. A lot of guys HIT.

I really like Megan as a Senior all-arounder for 2016.

In the AA Final at Canadian Nationals Megan had the 3rd highest Junior / Senior combined score – 55.400 – behind only Ellie and Bella.

She had the highest Vault (15.05) and Floor (14.20) scores over both days Junior / Senior combined.

Megan’s another strong candidate for the Senior team in the Olympic year. 🙂 Canada has depth.

Read Lauren Hopkins’ analysis of the Canadian scene.

A good number of serious contenders for the team did not compete due to injury. They are out of consideration for the Pan Am team (to be announced June 2nd) but will be home training to qualify for the Worlds team.

Jessica Dowling is still training, in fact. One of my favourite Canadian gymnasts. 🙂

Very aggressive tumbling including handspring front.

Tatiana Lysenko performs her optional balance beam routine in the team competition of the 1991 World Championships. She scores a 9.900. Along with her compulsory beam score, she qualifies 8th into the event finals. However, teammates Svetlana Boginskaya and Tatiana Gutsu qualified ahead of her, thus making her ineligible to compete.
