“This is usually how I train, with my kids in tow,” she said.
For Bodenschatz herself, training here is a second chance at fulfilling a childhood dream.
Most members of the U.S. women’s national team weren’t even born when she won her first national championships as a junior in 1999. Yet, she shares a goal with many of them: making the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.
Some info about the event:
Who: Adult gymnasts and coaches
What: Masters competition for men and demonstration for women 18+
Where: Oakville Gymnastics Club
When: Saturday, March 9, 2019
Why: Because you can
Masters is about proving that you’ve still got it.
This year will feature a competition on the men’s events and demonstration on the women’s events (non-judged). This is due to a lack of judges available in Ontario for that weekend. Ever thought of becoming a judge? It can make a difference to events like this. Give it a shot if you’re interested!
It is a low-stress, fun meet with ages ranging from 18 to over 74+
“Adult” awards are given out, rather than medals and ribbons.
Sincerely,
Eric Laurin
Masters Event Director
