In Bogota, Columbia athletes from Oakville Gymnastics Club (OGC) blew the competition away at the annual Acrobatic Gymnastics Pam American Championships held from November 18 to 20. Team Canada was almost exclusively made up of OGC members, many of which will attend the world competition in Israel in May 2024.
Acrobatic gymnastics (AG) is a competitive gymnastic discipline where partnerships of gymnasts work together and perform figures consisting of acrobatic moves, dance and tumbling, set to music. It is a FIG discipline (International Gymnastics Federation) but is not yet an Olympic sport, although its rules do align with those required by the Olympics.
The highest-performing athletes compete at the world championships. Both the Acrobatic Pan Americas Competition and World's requires partnerships to trial and be chosen to represent Team Canada. It's not an open competition for anyone to participate in.
OGC is recognized as one of the best clubs in Canada, so many of the athletes selected were from Oakville.
