A work in progress.

Moors, who withdrew from Canada’s team at last year’s Commonwealth Games and hasn’t competed since winning the bronze all-around medal at the 2014 Canadian Championships in May, is one of 35 senior women listed on the meet’s athlete registration released by Gymnastics Canada this week. …

Victoria Moors Expected to Return to Competition at Elite Canada

See the complete list of Elite Canada competitors, MAG and WAG, registered via that link. There are some missing with injuries – 2014 Worlds team member Jordyn Pedersen 😦 – for example, but fewer than usual I reckon.

Some of those on the registered list may not actually compete, of course, due to last minute injuries.

Other names on the list I’m looking forward to see returning include …

Jessica Dowling from Tori’s club, Dynamo. Coach Elvira Saadi.

Sabrina Gill now at Manjak’s.

Good luck to ALL Elite Canada competitors. I’ll be posting highlights on this site.

John Crumlish:

Canadian veteran gymnast Christine (Peng-Peng) Lee told IG that she is pacing herself in her recent return to competition for UCLA after a pre-Olympic knee injury kept her out of competition for two-and-a-half years.

“I’m not really putting pressure on myself to be perfect,” said Lee following Monday’s meet against the University of Arizona at Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles. “There’s obviously a lot of things I can improve upon, and I think just trying to get back … “

Lee … was one of Canada’s top prospects for the 2012 Olympic Games in London. She finished 19th all-around at the 2011 world championships in Tokyo, and led Canada to a Games-winning team berth at the Olympic test event in London in January 2012.

In training at the Canadian championships in May 2012, Lee tore her left ACL. She served as honorary captain of the Canadian women’s gymnastics team at the London Olympics that summer, after which she enrolled at UCLA. …

The photo montage was done by one of our Sport Seneca parents: Megan Douglas (mother of Ella Douglas).

… she is not ruling out future international competitions including the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

“I have considered it,” she told IG. “I would love to go to 2016. Right now I’m focusing on the season, but after the season, it would be great to do another world championships or go to Rio. That’s definitely a long-term goal of mine, and I’ve kept it in the back of my head.”

We’re glad to have her back. 🙂

Try to find a deduction.

Thanks Mary.

Crushing it again this year.

Congratulations. This is what’s possible when Gymnastics is well marketed.

I have NO idea what this is about.

Someone please enlighten me. 🙂

This was the ranking prior to Monday night’s OSU vs Stanford meet. Both those teams moved up. Oregon to 8th. Stanford to 11th.

Worlds 2014. Interesting to see what changes routine-to-routine, especially when she makes a mistake.

My home town Calgary is not quite as stupid as, for example, Hamilton. 🙂

But we’re pretty stupid. Socialist nations like Canada have governments with enough spare time to invent city bylaws like: “those who slide outside the city’s 18 approved hills could face a $100 fine”.

Calgary’s media has made much ado about the city’s tobogganing rules in recent weeks — to the point where Mayor Naheed Nenshi blamed “bored journalists” trying to stir up controversy.

Now Rick Mercer has taken it upon himself to poke a bit of fun at (the) bylaw ..

(For the record, the city does not recall ever giving out a tobogganing fine. Ever.)

Certainly no Calgarian I know pays any attention to tobogganing restrictions. We slide wherever we want. But with one eye out in case a Toboggan Cop shows up. 🙂

Over protective restrictions on youth activity contribute to child obesity. We want kids tobogganing more, not less.
