    2016 1 2017 MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR AND PRESIDENT/CEO RICHARD CRÉPIN AND PETER NICOL 2016-2017 marked another year of transition for Gymnastics Canada as we wrapped up the last year of our previous strategic plan and launched our 2017-2020 Strategic Plan. We are very excited about our new strategic plan as it will provide focus to the organization in all we do over the next four years: OUR VISION: OUR MISSION: OUR VALUES: Be THE foundation Build the foundation. Collaboration. Dedication. sport in Canada. Create champions. Excellence. Innovation. Consistently achieve Inspire the nation. Integrity. international success. To support this new direction, an organizational review was conducted over the fall to ensure alignment of resources. After a detailed external review and recommendations, staffing was initiated to introduce some modifications and key roles in the organization. These changes to the structure will enhance our current capacity and allow GCG to continue moving forward and enable us to achieve the objectives outlined in our plan. Reflecting on the success of the past year, and the conclusion of the last cycle, the highlight was definitely the outstanding performances at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Of particular mention of course is Rosie MacLennan who was the official flag bearer for team Canada during the opening ceremonies, and who picked up her second Olympic gold medal in women’s trampoline. Rosie also broke records as this was a first ever back-to-back gold in trampoline gymnastics, and a first back-to-back gold for a Canadian summer athlete. Way to go Rosie - we are so very proud of you! Another important highlight of Rio was Ellie Black’s 5th place all-around finish in WAG, another all-time best showing for Canada.

Nesta segunda-feira, 20, as meninas brasileiras fizeram o último dia de competições no Toronto Coliseum e, novamente, Angélica Kvieczynski saiu com o terceiro lugar no pódio. Essa foi a 100ª medalha no Brasil nessa edição do Pan. Desta vez, foi na decisão da fita. Favorito, o conjunto do Brasil, que tinha ficado duas vezes no topo do pódio (geral e fitas), cometeu uma falha no finzinho da performance mista entre arcos e maças, e o terceiro ouro não chegou. Mas elas encantaram da mesma forma e levaram a prata. Os EUA venceram nessa prova. Após a decisão individual da fita, Angélica, a melhor da ginástica do país na atualidade se despede do Canadá com dois pódios. E, para isso, ela precisou superar Patricia Bezzoubenko, que contava com o apoio dos locais.
