Gearing up for the upcoming battle to win a spot on the Canadian women’s 2012 Olympic gymnastics team Kristina Vaculik of Whitby, Ont., Victoria Moors and Madeline Gardiner of Cambridge, Ont., and Brittany Rogers of Coquitlam, B.C., all came through with strong performances on the final day of competition Sunday at Elite Canada.

Of the many Canadian girls who have done a terrific job this season, one who impresses me is Brittany Rogers. After a long term injury, her comeback has been one of the big success stories on the team. A Vault specialist, she still managed to win Bars in Finals.

Victoria Moors is another “power” gymnast with surprisingly good Bars.

The Canadian men finished 13th, just missing Team qualification for London. They were shattered.

By comparison, Belgium was 13th in WAG. But that was their best rank ever. A BIG accomplishment.

Tumbl Trak Bungee Incline

One of their best products. I saw it used first in Melsele, Belgium. Lieven Vercruyssen of EuroTumble.com set one up so the club could try it out.

Easy up.

Small electric pumps and bigger valves have improved the inflation process significantly, over the years.

There are a vast number of drills you can do with that unique apparatus. Useful for every program in the gym. (You can’t have too many inclined surfaces, so far as I’m concerned.)

To see some variations, click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

Cost is about $1200. Details.
