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.

The best he’s ever looked?

5.5 + 9.2 = 14.7

This Kas half is so easy for her now. I could easily see her adding another half twist.

Coach Kristi Marks Cloman.

My gymnastics career has been a long hall… And now it’s time for me to retire as a professional gymnast.

It’s been a tough road for me and I’ve been faced with some challenges that i just couldn’t overcome.

This sport has taught me so much about myself and life itself. I’ve made so many amazing friends that i know will stick by my side for my whole life and I know I will stick by theirs.

My love for this sport will truly never end and I will continue to inspire young athletes to be the best person/athlete that they can be.

This has been one of the toughest decisions that I’ve had to make but I have to look out for myself and do what’s best for me.

I would like to thank my friends, fans, coaches and my family who have stood by my side throughout my whole career I wouldn’t of been where I am without you thanks so much for believing in me and understanding this tough decision.

1. Black, Ellie – NS 57.950
2. Onyshko, Isabela – MB 57.550
3. Woo, Rose-Kaying – QC 55.000
4. Copiak, Madison – AB 54.850

7. Chant, Maegan – ON 54.000
8. Pedersen, Jordyn – ON 52.600

A great competition. Isabela looked better than ever to me. Stronger.

But her full Twisting Yurchenko does not compare with Ellie’s superb 1 1/2 twist from Tsukahara approach.

As expected, Canada will build a Pan Am team around Ellie and Bella. They have plenty of good candidates for that team.

The teams will be announced soon.

Those scores include very large bonus points.

Ana dominated the High Performance National Championships. She truly is one of the best gymnasts her age in the world.

She won Floor, Bars and Beam, as well. Ontario’s Kelly Johnson – with a Yurchenko 1 1/2 – finished ahead of Ana on Vault. A birthday present for Kelly’s Mom.

Ana’s very well spoken. Watch a video interview from Gymnix 2015.

Ivy had a fall on Bars in the AA Final. But a staggering 15.15 on Beam kept her atop the podium when the chalk dust settled. 🙂

Open are excellent gymnasts who – for one reason or another – did not qualify for Junior or Senior.

But there were some terrific performances tonight. Congratulations to all. It was a great show.
