Competition 2	Men's Individual All Around Finals
Results	Jackson Payne, AB, 76.650 points Jayd Lukenchuk, SK, 75.400 points John Hall, AB, 74.250 points
Highlights	Edmonton's Jackson Payne can back with a vengeance on the pommel horse, after touching down in his opening floor routine pass. Payne, 15, scored almost three points higher than the previous day on his risky but elegant pommels routine. His 13.600 points on pommels was the highest men's score of the day. Saskatoon's Jayd Lukenchuk had two falls on pommel horse but pulled through with clean routines on all other apparatus. 'The highlight of my day was how I stuck my floor routine. I'm pretty happy with that,' said the 16 year-old. Calgary's John Hall improved all the way from 19th place in the team competition to claim the bronze medal with consistent clean performances on all apparatus.
Athletes to Watch	Dominique Pegg (Sarnia, ON) - Dominique Pegg proved her strength as an all around competitor in both the team and all around finals. She qualified for all four apparatus finals to be contested on Friday. The youngest member of Canada's junior national team at 13, Pegg is developing a world-class repertoire and enjoying competitive experiences that she hopes will take her to the 2009 World Championships. Jackson Payne (Edmonton, Alberta) - While he failed to qualify for the pommel horse final, Jackson Payne performs a world-class routine with five E-value skills which is far beyond what the rest of the field is doing on the difficult and precision-demanding event. On Friday, he will attempt to collect two more medals on parallel bars and horizontal bar finals. Payne, a ninth-grader, will travel to Kiev, Ukraine at the end of March to compete for Canada in a senior-level international all around competition. Jayd Lukenchuk (Saskatoon, Saskatchewan) - Jayd Lukenchuk has the opportunity to add five more medals to his all around silver in Friday's individual apparatus finals. He has qualified for floor, vault, parallel bars, rings, and horizontal bar. He would become Saskatchewan's most decorated gymnast at a Canada Games if he can medal in each final.
	Ontario coach Dave Brubaker is doubly proud of his athlete's result today in the women's individual all around finals. At the 1991 Canada Winter Games in Charlottetown, Brubaker's athlete Sarah Rainey won the all around title. Rainey went on to compete at the World Championships in Indianapolis later that year. The Bluewater Gymnastics Club coach has high hopes for the newly-crowned Canada Games champion, Dominique Pegg, 13, who becomes age-eligible for the 2009 World Championships in London, England.
Next Competition	The best eight women, up to two per team, will compete in the individual apparatus finals on Friday. Eighteen medals are up for grabs in the men's apparatus finals on Friday evening. With pommel horse forerunner Francis Croft's withdrawal from the all around competition and Alberta's Jackson Payne not qualifying for the final in his best event.
