Athletes of the month - January
Tumbling: Samantha Zachar
Samantha recently placed 12th in the Provincial C 12- category at the 1st Ontario Cup competing 2 new passes and scoring a new personal best. What is even more impressive is that two months ago she wasn't tumbling due to a broken toe! Way to go Coach Sam!
Trampoline: Brandon Tumber
Brandon has put in back to back consistent competitions this season placing 26th at Tour selection and then 13th at the 1st Ontario Cup. He is competing in Level A for the first time and is rising to the challenge! Good Job Brandon!
Double Mini: Sean Robertson
At the most recent 1st Ontario Cup, Sean was the only athlete to successfully compete a triple back! It was just 1 of 4 good passes that helped earn qualifying score in Youth National and his first Gold of the season! Impressive Sean!

Poll Results!!
If you answered 3, you are correct! Gymnastics Canada's tumbling program has only medaled 3 times in World Championship history. In 1996 the Women's team won a bronze medal. And then at the most recent Worlds the women's team once again earned a bronze along with an individual bronze by Ashley Speed. Emily Smith and Jordan Sugrim were part of the Bronze medal effort for Canada.
