Merde.

British Columbia schools drop competitive Gymnastics

The governing body for sport for the province’s primary and secondary schools has dropped gymnastics as a sanctioned sport.

BC School Sports (BCSS) said the rationale was based on low enrollment numbers and gymnastics typically not taking place within the school itself.

In the 2022-23 season, there were only 453 athletes across B.C. enrolled in school gymnastics, according to the BCSS. …

The decision by BCSS is extremely upsetting to Terry Mitruk, the gymnastics coach at Sutherland Secondary in North Vancouver.

R.I.P Boris Bajin

When I was young, Boris Bajin was the Canadian WAG National Coach. Our leader for 5 consecutive Olympic Games and many World Championships.

We spent weeks preparing for his visits to the Gym where he would evaluate skills and physical ability. I still vividly recall his “Elite Testing” events.

They were highest priority on our annual calendar.

I was sad to hear that Boris passed away at the age of 90 at his home in Toronto.
