Gold, Silver and Bronze day for Oakville

WOW!!!  Great results today for the Oakville Gymnastics Club.  First of all qualifying 5 Senior and 2 Junior athletes to the all around competition is an accomplishment in itself!!!  Jessica Savona captured the silver medal in the senior all around while Jordyn Pedersen claimed Junior Bronze!! 

Elise Bolger finished an impressive 10th in the very deep junior division!! 

Sabrina Gill came back with a vengance, after a rough qualification round, and if not for a fall on beam was in with a real chance for a medal in her first year as a senior!!!  She ended up 7th but should be very proud of her much improved performance today!!  Bianca Jordaan, who missed a good part of the season due to a knee injury finished in 9th, while Krishna Yemeny was 11th and Silvia Colussi Peleaz 12th (Silvia has been peaking everyones interest with the possibilty of her competing for Spain).  All Juniors and Seniors will compete again on Saturday in event finals!!  Go Oakville!!!



Jessica Dowling and Mariana Colussi Peleaz helped Ontario to a gold medal finish in the Open team competition.  Jessica qualified first in the 16+ division (and has created quite a stir amongst gym bloggers everywhere due to her recent announcement about her intent to compete for the Dutch) and Marianna is sitting in 2nd in the 13-15 age group - super impressive since she is one of the youngest in this catergory!!   We look forward to see what they both will do in the open finals!!!

Fantastic efforts by all our girls so far!!!
