P.A. gymnasts test their strength at training camp
Gymnasts spent the weekend tumbling, flipping and stretching- all in pursuit of the perfect routine.
Gymnastics Saskatchewan hosted two training camps this weekend, one in Prince Albert for provincial-level athletes and another in Saskatoon for national-level athletes.
“It’s exciting to be able to have a training camp here in Prince Albert. Typically P.A. athletes have to go to Saskatoon and Regina, so we are very lucky to be able to host this event and have a high-performance coach come out and coach our beginning-level provincial athletes,” said Prince Albert Aerials Gymnastics Club coach Kara Thorpe.
She said the high-performance coach spent Saturday observing drills by the athletes and Sunday giving them pointers on how to fix common issues and fine-tune their routines.
