Team Quebec came from behind BC in the final rotation on the floor exercises to capture the gold medal in a suspenseful finish to the first day of competition in artistic gymnastics. The winning team lived up to their expectation as it is stacked with junior national team members and senior high performance athletes who trained together in France and competed in Texas in preparation for the Canada Games.
Junior national team member Brittany Rogers of Coquitlam, BC, used her prior experience in representing Canada internationally to lead Team BC to the podium for silver. Rogers, 15, tallied the 74-woman field's highest individual all around total with 58.200 points in her first competition on all four apparatus since the Junior Pan American Championships last August. She scored over 15 points on vault, uneven bars, and balance beam. On uneven bars, she added a second same bar release move and was happy to have 'stuck it'. Comparing her Canada Games team experience with international team experience, Rogers says, 'Here, it's a bigger group with more people to talk to. In international meets, our team is only four people. It's really fun because you can cheer a lot, which gets me in a good mood.'

Nova Scotia vs. Manitoba - Both teams will move on to the quarterfinals, but the winner will have an easier route to the medal round. Nova Scotia has the momentum of a 9-3 win over the NWT on Tuesday, but Manitoba had a day of rest following their 6-0 win over the NWT on Monday afternoon.
Saskatchewan vs. B.C. - Arguably the most anticipated match-up of the round-robin, these two western provinces will meet for first place in Pool C and a top-four spot in the quarterfinals. Both teams flexed some offensive muscle in their openers, with Saskatchewan scoring 19 times, and B.C. 14.
