Ana Padurariu will join UCLA in 2020
After many weeks considering whether to defer, the 2018 World silver medalist on Beam decided to compete for the Bruins in the coming season.
That’s assuming NCAA Gymnastics resumes, of course. Not at all certain.
We hope Ana will compete both Elite and College over the coming year, as did Canadian Olympians Brittany Rogers and Shallon Olsen.

British Columbia Gymnastics history
One anecdote from the great Willy Weiler who was with the Canadian Military:
In the spring of 1963, after arriving as champion of the Pan Am Games in Sao Paulo, I was transferred to Chilliwack, BC.
The base had no equipment for me to train on for the upcoming 1964 Olympics in Tokyo. I traveled 3 times a week to UBC to train …
So that I could do more practicing at the base, I purchased a horizontal bar and built the uprights for it. My previous experience in Rastatt, Germany of digging a 4 foot trench outside the gym and padding it with sawdust came in handy. …
That comes from a document celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Gymnastics B.C.
