2022 WAG Optional and MAG Gymnastics BC Champs

For the second weekend in a row, Flip City Gymnastics Club and its team of incredible volunteers worked endlessly to deliver a fantastic event. Thanks to this effort, the 2022 WAG Optional and MAG Gymnastics BC Provincial Championships was a resounding success! 

Our sincere gratitude goes out to each and every  staff member, volunteer, supporter, judge, coach, club and athlete for helping to bring this event back to life after a long three-year hiatus.

2022 TG BC Champs Photos 

The event photographer for the TG BC Champs, Graham Dodd (father of Kristina and Gavin Dodd from KGTC), is kindly offering to provide professional copies of photos to families at no charge this year. 

In his words, "... it was so just so good to be back in person. Taking the photos of these incredible athletes was a real privilege, so I’ve decided that there will be no charge for the photos from this event." 

We are extremely grateful for his generosity! Families are asked to please contact Graham through his website (link below). Please provide detailed information on exactly which photo(s) you would like, and he will directly send you a download code. A friendly reminder that photo credits are appreciated if sharing on social media. 

THANK YOU, Graham!
