“We are delighted to have GYMNOVA come back on board, with Division Sports-Rep and SA Sport, as our official equipment supplier through to the end of 2020,” said Peter Nicol, President and CEO of Gymnastics Canada. “They have been fabulous partners for the last five years and our athletes and coaches have really benefitted from training and competing on the same high quality equipment that they competed on recent international events including the Pan American Games, the Olympic Games, and World Championships.”
“Having successfully worked together over the last five years, GYMNOVA, Division Sports-Rep and GCG have decided to extend their partnership through 2020,” stated Yves Benoit, Director General, GYMNOVA France. “It was an easy decision, given the spirit of sharing and exchange that developed over the past five years, to the benefit of all involved and most importantly, our gymnasts. The return of SA Sport, a GYMNOVA affiliate, will provide even more flexibility and opportunities to event organizers, while increasing the supply of apparatus available to gymnasts.”
In addition to the 2016 Canadian National Championships in artistic and trampoline gymnastics, May 31 to June 4, in Edmonton, AB, and the 2016 Canadian National Championships in rhythmic gymnastics, May 18-22, in Winnipeg, MB, GYMNOVA will also be the equipment used at the 2015 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, October 23 to November 1, in Glasgow, Scotland. GYMNOVA is also part of a consortium including Spieth and Eurotramp who will provide equipment for the 2016 Olympic Games, August 5 to 21, in Rio de Janerio, Brazil.
