Elite Canada Results

Capital City, Salto, and Alberta Gymnastics held the prestigious Elite Canada at Millennium Place from February 7th to 10th.  Thank you to all our athletes who came out to support Alyson Arcand and Elite Canada last weekend. It was very exciting to watch the highest level of gymnastics in Canada and to see how far you can go in the sport of gymnastics.  

Alyson Arcand came 12th All Around out of 31 of Canada's best young athletes.  Alyson was very consistent and was able to perform a remarkable beam routine on day 1 and day 2.  Alyson placed 2nd on beam and on day 2 she had the highest beam score of all the competitors.  Due to Alyson's great results she has been named as one of Canada's High Performance Novices.  Great work Alyson, we are so proud of you!

Winter Wonderland LEAP Event

On January 19th and 20th Capital City hosted our first LEAP Event of the season. The theme was Winter Wonderland, and the Capital City athletes had a great time cutting out and painting snowflakes to decorate the gym with. The Provincial and National girls also painted snowmen on the mirrors to go with the theme. 

There were 6 participating clubs, including Airdrie, Champions, Horizon, North Edmonton, Salto and Capital City.   There was a total of 57 athletes that came for the event. All of our copper athletes tested for their very first time, and they all did great! Many of our girls moved up and tested Bronze for the first time at this event as well. Ricki M. passed both her Copper components at this event, congrats Ricki!  The event ran smoothly both days and was a complete success!
