For Ikeda this will be the 19th Canadian Gymnastics Championship in his very successful career. Joining Ikeda are fellow national team members Scott Morgan (Flicka), Scott Nabata (Kamloops), Joshua Stuart (Richmond), Robert Watson (Richmond), and Zachary Clay (Twisters).
2012 Olympic team alternate Samantha Smith (Okanagan) leads the trampoline team alongside national team members Trevor Stirling (Okanagan) and Tamara O’Brien (TAG).

The Canadian Gymnastics Championships are hosted annually throughout Canada. Over 1,000 athletes, coaches and officials will travel to Ottawa to compete for the right to be considered the best gymnasts in Canada.

B.C.’s trampoline gymnasts competing this weekend at Elite Canada
April 5, 2013 at 3:13 pm | Posted in Competitions, Trampoline | Leave a commentTags: Elite Canada, Gymnastics BC, Quebec City, Trampoline gymnastics
More than 100 of Canada’s top trampolinists and tumblers are in Quebec City to kick off three days of competition today at Elite Canada in the first major national competition of the year.
With all three members of Canada’s 2012 Olympic trampoline team not competing at this year’s event, including women’s gold medal winner Rosie MacLennan of Toronto who is out with a sprained ankle, the combined field is wide open for both junior and senior competitors to aim for the top of the podium.
Other absent Olympians are Jason Burnett, who had surgery recently to remove pins from an old leg injury, and Karen Cockburn who is expecting her first baby in September.
“There is a gap between the top three in the country and we hope that some of the younger competitors are starting to narrow that gap,” says trampoline high performance director Stephan Duchesne of Montreal.
“We have a lot of very young athletes with great potential but it’s going to take some time. It’s a long run to make it to the top level internationally in trampoline.
Qualification for all events takes place on Friday and Saturday in synchronized and individual trampoline and in double mini trampoline and tumbling with finals on Sunday.
B.C. athletes competing are:
Okanagan: Samantha Smith, Trevor Stirling, Luke Friesen, Tyler Vermeulen
Shasta: Anita Cirillo, Tyler Edwards, Brittany Falconer, Chelsea Nerpio, Cameron Quinlan, Poppy Quinlan
TAG: Kyle Carragher, Kassidy Kask, Jared Khalifa, Ethan McLeary, Tamara O’Brien
Flip City: Douglas Armstrong
