Canadian Trampoline TEAM Final

At the National Championships each year a truly special competition is anticipated with enthusiasm. Each Province competes in all Trampoline sport disciplines with 4 competitors from 4 age groups, youngest to eldest.

The goal is FUN and TEAM SPIRIT. … The video will give you a taste.

Marceline Goldstein of Cirque du Soleil:

Team finals: loud cheering, quadriffuses and half half codies…thoroughly entertaining.

Shallon Olsen – Canadian Champion

The 10yr-old wonder child from Vancouver, B.C. dominated the Novice High Performance division hitting 8 / 8 routines over 2 days.

Shallon is listed at 133cm (4ft 4in) and 24kg (53lbs).

Yet she vaults a Double Twisting Yurchenko with ease. Day 2 DTY was even better than Day 1 (VIDEO)

time to renew your GYMNASTICS license

Bottle of what!?

Did you know that FIG gymnasts have to renew their FIG licenses every 2 years?

As of 1.1.2009, all gymnasts (Age Group, juniors and seniors) must present a valid FIG License in order to be eligible to participate in an international competition. “Gymnastics for All” events are exempted from this rule. …

Get the details on this FIG communique.

Warren questions the need for this?

If that tiny Chinese gymnast has an FIG license already, why does she need to renew?

It does give FIG a new mug shot photo every 2 years. And on that application is a confirmation that the athlete has reviewed the FIG Anti-Doping Rules.

final day CAN National Championships

Follow the action on the 2011 Canadian Gymnastics Championships blog.

That’s Wolfe Gazer-Ambrosino using an old school Deltchev Spagat. He won Rings in the National Youth Men division.

Top 8 advance to Event finals on Saturday.

Apparatus medal contenders who did not do the AA include: Brandon O’Neill, Kevin Lytwyn, Ken Ikeda, Scott Morgan.

Kevin impressed by including Tak half immediate Def at the end of his routine. Unfortunately he missed the regrasp.

Our top gymnast, Nathan Gafuik, competed only Pommels. He told me that he’s physically and psychologically fatigued after competing at Chinese Championships and in Russia.

Maddie Gardiner – Canadian Champion

All Around Finals were far better for the Senior Women than preliminaries. A number of different gymnasts could have taken the title. It was up for grabs.

Congratulations to Madeline for coming back so strong on Day 2. The preliminary day scores did not count. This was a “new life” or “sudden victory” competition.
