Most of the athletes who competed are in transition phase right now. Naosaki spoke specifically to the FIG male gymnasts, advising a minimum number of days “active rest” before return to training.
Next … start building for Elite Canada and Canadian Championships 2012 Regina.

One of my missions at the Canadian Gymnastics Championships was to promote athletes, especially those who get less than their share of press.
Cory Paterson has won Nationals 3 times already, this year in the challenging High Performance Tyro division. (Boys are growing rapidly in this age group.)
Mihai Brestyan was up coaching Talia Chiarelli for one day at the Canadian Championships.
I heard he was not impressed with Canadian judging, finding the scores of the top routines too low relative to the rest. And relative to international judging.
She finished 6th AA (52.375) affiliated with Bluewater, ONT.
Talia Chiarelli was born and raised in Ottawa (1995). Her mother is Alicia Brancato, daughter of former Ottawa Rough Riders football coach George Brancato.
Talia’s father is Peter Chiarelli, GM of the Boston Bruins who are currently in the NHL Stanley Cup Finals.
She’s in the mix of gymnasts who might qualify to Worlds 2011. Like her more famous Brestyan’s teammates, she’s strong on all apparatus … except Bars.
Bluewater trained down at Brestyan’s recently. The conditioning is tough.
Some chalk (magnesium carbonate) at the gym got on the top of my photo booth kit bag and set off CSTA alarms for traces of explosive chemicals at YYG. Forms got filled out and everything got hand checked, including my body. I’ll be happy to get home soon to do some laundry.
Leave a comment if you’ve ever heard of gymnastics chalk being flagged at an airport. That stuff is about as inert as any substance.
Kerensa took the Bronze medal on Beam with that routine in National Open 16+.
And was 6th on Bars, 6th AA. See full results (PDF).
Kerensa knows more than most non-American gymnasts about the NCAA as her brother is on a Tennis scholarship. She knew enough to get advice from Sara Gill, of GymDynasty, a College Recruitment Representative.
Kerensa will certainly be a strong Collegiate gymnast. She’s organized.
If you’re not sure how best to get your gymnast into the pool of athletes under consideration by NCAA coaches, get yourself a College Recruitment Representative like Sara. Or one of the many other reputable services including one of our sponsors, Lights On Recruiting.
One of my goals at Canadian Nationals is to promote the NCAA. I wore my NCAA hat all week. I feel more foreign gymnasts should be taking advantage of that opportunity.
