Champion's Day @ CAN Wonderland













Though only a few tumblers went to the Gymnastics Ontario hosted Champion's Day at Canada's Wonderland those who did had a great time.

Emma Chau and Luke Mackinnon, the OGC's own Tumbling Provincial Champions, were in attendance for the morning ceremony where some special awards were given out and inspirational talks were delivered by two of our gymnastics community stars. Emily Smith, a Senior Tumbler from Burlington spoke about believing in yourself in order to achieve success in gymnastics. Emily won the first ever World Cup medals in tumbling for Canada and is known as one of the World's best female tumblers. As well Karen Cockburn, three-time Olympic trampoline medalist, spoke about how to deal with pressure and how to enjoy the experience of participating in the Olympics.

After the ceremony it was a free for all at the park.

Also in attendance for the group photo were two of the OGC's Women's Artistic Provincial Champions: Jordyn Pederson and Kathryn Doran.
