Historic day for Sask. gymnast at Canada Games

Feb 25, 2023 | 11:30 AM

What’s better than winning one medal at the Canada Winter Games?

How about winning gold, silver and bronze all in the same day?

That’s what gymnast Rylee Miller of Saskatoon did on Friday in P.E.I., making her the Saskatchewan’s most-decorated female gymnast in Canada Games history.

Miller won the gold in the floor event, earned silver in the beam and collected bronze in the uneven bars. It was also the first gold ever won by a Saskatchewan woman for the floor event.

Before Friday, Team Saskatchewan only had a total of four medals in female artistic gymnastics in the 56-year-history of the Canada Games. Miller almost doubled that number in a single day.

Friday was full of firsts for Saskatchewan, as Saskatoon gymnast Jordan Carroll became the first Saskatchewan athlete to win gold in the pommel horse event.

All gymnastics events wrapped up on Friday, with Saskatchewan winning two additional medals earlier in the Games in male and female synchronized trampoline.
