“The World Age Group Competition gives us the opportunity to showcase our junior teams and the depth we have in this country. Canada will be well represented across all events and our athletes are looking forward to performing on the world stage,” said Karen Cockburn, national team director for trampoline gymnastics at Gymnastics Canada.
Athletes to watch out for include Gavin Dodd of Kelowna, BC who was the silver medallist in the boys 15-16 double mini-trampoline (DMT) category last year, and Emily Harrison in the girls 15-16 tumbling category who is the reigning Canadian Junior National Champion and had the highest degree of difficulty across all age groups at Canadian Championships.
The selection process for the WAGC team included the 2018 Canada Cup in Montreal, QC in April and the 2018 Canadian Championships in Lethbridge, AB this past July.
