BC Athletes Rise to the Top of the Podium at TG Elite Canada GymBC TG athletes, representing 10 clubs, rose to the top of the podium at the recent TG Elite Canada Event, earning a total of 27 individual medals. The virtual event was held from March 16-20th, with judging completed on April 3rd. The competition welcomed 56 BC national level athletes vying for placements on all national teams, and served as trials to many major international events on the 2022 calendar, including World Championships, Pan Am Championships, World Age Group Championships and the World Games. Leading the way were Brooklyn Lee McMeeken (TAG), who earned Gold medals in Trampoline, DMT and Tumbling. Owen Harbo (VIP) earned Bronze on Trampoline, Silver on DMT and Gold on Tumbling.

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. 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. WAG Optional and MAG (April 1-3, 2022) We are so appreciative that Veryokphotos was able to step in to cover the event after an unforeseen cancellation.
