GBR Olympic sports funding

Great Britain had an excellent Olympics. Still benefiting from 2012 investments. In fact they finished ahead of China in the medal table.

Rowing was funded double that of Gymnastics. A good investment?

Ahead By A Century – Rio Olympics

My favourite Canadian Rio montage.

Watch it on Facebook.

The song is “Ahead By A Century” by The Tragically Hip, a quintessential Canadian band. Nine of their albums have reached #1 in Canada.

Lead singer Gord Downie has been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. Their last concert MIGHT have been August 20, 2016th. Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau attended.

Canmore Gymnastics Camp

August 14-20, 2016

The 1st annual resident camp for girls was a big success. Food, accommodation, training and special events all included.

Canmore Camp

I was lead coach on Bars. Highlights included two new kips, low to high releases, high to low releases and work on dismounts. Unlike every other Camp in existence, we had zero bleeding rips over 6 continuous days. 🙂 Many drills were assigned that did not require swinging on an actual Bar.

Canmore, Alberta is an outdoor adventure sport mecca in the Rockies. The girls had instruction in one or two action sports every day.
