Richmond Gymnastics is well-represented on the provincial team competing at this weekend's annual artistic Elite Canada meet in Gatineau, Que.
Joshua Stuart (senior), Devy Dyson (senior), Brian Lau (junior), Nicolas Bourne (novice) and Chris Kaji (novice) are all part of the 40 member team. Leading the B.C. contingent is North Vancouver's Scott Morgan.
As the first major event of the year, Morgan wants to continue to build on his success of last fall at the 2013 World Championships in Antwerp, Belgium where he advanced to the floor finals. He says he is are focused more on working on new routines at this early stage of the season than winning medals.
"It was difficult going from such a high at Worlds to getting back into the gym," says Morgan. "You train so hard to peak for a competition like that and it's tough to stay at that level but now I'm feeling stronger and more routine ready and fit."
Results from Elite Canada along with the Canadian championships in May, will count heavily in team selection for major upcoming international events this year, including the Commonwealth Games and Senior Pan American Championships.
