Would anyone know where we can find Canadian Championships results for JO and Novice in near real-time? GCG's directive mentioned they would be available as judging happened (25th-27th) and I see the Sr/Jr results were generated by Livemeet but there is nothing in Livemeet for the June...

I see GO's new OCP document eludes to a 2020-21 season (mid-January to mid-March). Interesting that if there are competitions there will be no award ceremonies allowed.

Hope everyone is fairing well. Curious if anyone has heard what a 2020-21 competitive season in Ontario might look like? Or has thoughts on what's even possible? Will Gymnastics Canada host events this year?

Looks as though we will attend. DD is competing along with her team.

It happened a few years ago in the WAG program when they changed to an 'as of December 31st' in the year in which Championships were held. For those already in the competitive stream it meant a jump in two age groups like you're describing (unless maybe where age groups spanned a few years)...

You may have seen it already, but looks like California Grand Invitational.

Not a smoothie recipe but very similar and a great post-workout snack; blend 1 frozen banana (chopped), 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter and 1/2-1 scoop chocolate protein powder (to taste or desired horsepower) until it reaches the consistency of hard ice cream. The protein within an hour of...

We're attending the Biles meet too, and have to say now looking forward to watching Lily in person!

OTIP is a series of training camps for the little ones, but not a replacement for ODP. DD has been to two of the training camps; one last season and the first one this season. There are 3 regular camps through the season, culminating in a 'select only' camp for invitees chosen from the regular...

Basically, you feed them their favorite energy source to both help them function, and to proliferate (combined, of course, with training under specific conditions). Fast twitch like carbs, slow twitch like (healthy) fats. Both tissues with use both energy sources depending on presence/shortage...

Fast twitch muscle tends to be bulkier, the fibers are shorter with more 'splayed' (sorry, can't think how to properly describe it) attachments one to the other. Slow twitch muscle fibers are longer and when attached together lie flatter and create less bulk.

This may be of some help for Levels 6-10: https://usagym.org/pages/women/pages/jooptionals.html Gymnastics Ontario has a few, slight variations, although I haven't a clue if they'll apply to what Quebec is doing...

Thank you for all the feedback, a lot to consider. I wasn't expecting monetary compensation, don't have any expectation of ever getting any money back from this sport ;) Really appreciate insight about using/releasing photo rights.

Looking for advice please. Our gym had a photographer in for team photos in 2017 and I just received a request and model release form asking to use DD's photos for their promotional material. No offer of reimbursement, of course! I'm not always good at identifying unforeseen circumstances...

I found a video of an Ezhova and she says that's the skill. In retrospect, she did mention a front giant when she was trying to describe it. Thanks for the help!!
