Vanessa Atler interview
Like pretty much everyone I was a big fan of Vanessa Atler in the dark days of late 1990s USA Gymnastics.
GymCastic posted an excellent, candid interview from some months ago. Vanessa volunteered to be interviewed, clearing up many questions we had about her career.

Canadian Team to Worlds 2017
Though Lauren Hopkins didn’t attend Canadian Championships in person, she’s written up a very complete report on that competition. Forecasting potential teams to Worlds.
Going forward, the Canadian seniors will focus on the Pan American Championships in Peru this August, and then Black, Onyshko, Woo, Rogers, Olsen, and Moors will contend for the four competitive and two alternate spots available at this year’s world championships in Montreal.
Right now, I think Black and Olsen are the two locks, and I think the other two will end up being Onyshko and Rogers if both end up in better shape later this summer, though Woo and Moors would be equally justifiable.
I think Woo and Onyshko will end up going head-to-head for the second all-around spot behind Black. …
