Richmond Gymnastics Association's Joshua Stuart has returned from Kazan, Russia where he represented Canada at the XXVII World University Summer Games.
The competition is held every two years and this edition attracted over 13,500 athletes from 170 nations.
The 18-year-old Stewart was the top all-around athlete on the Canadian team that finished 17th overall. He placed 42nd in the individual all-around - only eight spots away from making the final.
For the young athlete it was an excellent result in his pursuit of earning a spot on the Canadian team that is attempting to qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio, Brazil.
After a short two week break, the RGA athletes have already have started preparation for the upcoming 2013-2014 competitive calendar.
The association, with a new Board of Directors, is very excited to accept new registrations for their fall and winter programs. Visit www.richmondgymnastics. com or call at 604-278-3614 for more information.
