OKANAGAN GYMNASTICS SWEEPS PROVINCIAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

Over the last 15 months, athletes around the globe have had to overcome a whole new set of challenges from missed competitions, competing without spectators, and training in a sport that they love while maintaining a safe distance from the rest of their teammates.  The athletes at Okanagan Gymnastics Centre have not only stepped up to this challenge, they’ve excelled in the recent 2021 BC Provincial Championships.

Led by an amazing team of coaches including Jamie Gardner, Chris Sheremeta, and Maryna Vorobyova, the athletes at Okanagan Gymnastics Centre swept their competition for both WAG (Women’s Artistic Gymnastics) and TG (Trampoline Gymnastics).  Winning a total of ten first place medals as well as multiple second place and third place standings, Team OGC surpassed expectations.

The JO3 (Junior Olympics Level 3) team finished second in the province, a huge accomplishment for a small team of four athletes – Victoria Schmidt, Kaydence Celedon-Davies, Keyanna-Celedon Davies and Kaycee McFarlane. 

Athletes are now preparing for the upcoming Virtual Ogopogo competition which will see WAG, TG and MAG (Men’s Artistic Gymnastics) athletes throughout BC competing in their own gyms and submitting videos for judging.  Athletes couldn't be more excited to finally be able to show off the skills that they have been working so hard on all year long.

Okanagan Gymnastics Centre is the only non-profit gym located in the Okanagan Valley.  Top-level coaches combined with a 12,000sf fully- equipped gym, provides a training centre beyond compare.  Okanagan Gymnastics Centre welcomes athletes of all ages, whether experienced or beginner.  Classes will continue to operate through the summer including day camps.
