#repost @rosiemaclennan 0.05. That is what I missed the final by at the last World Cup I competed in. This was February 2020. To this day, I remember and I use it as motivation to push harder.

#repost @ellieblack_ A little #MondayMotivation: Growing up, bars was my worst event and I also didn’t like it very much (probably because I wasn’t very good at it haha). Now, it’s become one of my stronger events and I enjoy flying on bars! ... So, some things I learnt were: -Working so hard towards something feels amazing when you achieve it or make progress with it. -If you only do the things you’re good at...then you’ll leave a lot of stones unturned and never know your full capabilities

Thanks to The Gymternet for pulling together this great article on our Women’s Artistic Gymnastics virtual technical trials that are being judged this week. Videos will be made available for viewing ASAP next week!

When you’re an instructor or coach of gymnastics, you have the ability to change a child’s life in one hour. Because you don’t know when the kids come to the classes, where they’ve come from. You don’t know what their life is. But you have a whole hour to make them feel good about themselves and to make a difference. That sums up my philosophy. It’s what I believe," says Canadian trampoline legend Val Johnson who was recently inducted into the BC Sports Hall of Fame. Val's contributions to the sport of trampoline are many -- and this awesome story about her induction, sums them up perfectly! Huge congrats Val on this tremendous achievement, and thank you for all you do for gymnastics!

We are so sorry to announce the passing of Mr. Leonid Grakovsky. Leonid was an artistic gymnastics coach for 19 years at the Winstonette Gymnastics Association where he coached several Olympians, and was a coach for Canada at both the 1984 and 1988 Olympic Games. He also coached for Canada at several World, Pan American, and Commonwealth Games competitions. He was a NCCP Level 4 certified coach and was named a Life Member of Gymnastics Ontario in 2001, and of Gymnastics Cana...da in 2006. His contributions to the sport were many, and he will be dearly missed. Our deepest condolences to his family and friends at this difficult time.

Fantastic piece on coaching an athlete in transition from Trampoline and Women's Artistic Gymnastics coach Denis Vachon. "I take great pride in knowing that I contributed to this young woman’s life in a positive way. As coaches, that is really the main thing we should strive for."

Ellie Black is still staying positive despite the challenges of training during a pandemic and having the Olympic Games postponed.

Three years ago today Ellie Black and her coach David Kikuchi captured Canada’s first-ever all-around medal - - at a World Championships at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal! And on the same night, Brooklyn Moors and her coach Elvira Saadi took home the Longines Award for Elegance. A truly remarkable night for Canadian gymnastics and we had so much support from our Canadian fans in the stands - thank you!

There’s lots of Ellie Black in the latest episode of #defyinggravityonyt which features vault and talks about her road to recovery after her injury at worlds a year ago in Germany. Check it out on YouTube! (You can watch new episodes each week for free with ads, or get a free 30 day trial to watch them all at once).
