Gymnastics Canada – OTTAWA, ON (July 5, 2016) – Gymnastics Canada is pleased to announce the athletes who have been named to the 2016-2017 rhythmic gymnastics national team following a selection process that included results from the 2016 Elite Canada competition and the 2016 Canadian Championships. A new senior group team has also been named following a series of open selection activities.

“The rhythmic staff and group coaches are very excited and feeling positive with the progress Canada’s senior group has made in the short time they have been together,” said Teresa Orr, National Team Director for rhythmic gymnastics at Gymnastics Canada. “The two new compositions (five hoops, and 3 ropes/2 balls) for 2017 are developing nicely and the team comradery is incredible. Each day the gymnasts arrive with exuberance, are motivated, and self-driven. Although there is still a lot of work to be done we are on the right path and look forward to the group’s debut in 2017.”

“On the individual side, Canada has a number of young, ambitious, and very talented rhythmic gymnasts moving up the ranks, including five first-year juniors that finished in the top-10 in the country at the Junior Level. This looks promising for the future and in particular for the 2018 Youth Olympic Games,” stated Orr.
