Jeff Thompson, the Programme
Director for Gymnastics Canada said "Gymnastics Canada is very
pleased to be returning to the Waveney Gymnastics Club for its
final preparation camp leading into the 2012 Olympic Games. The
Team enjoyed tremendously the hospitality and service from the club
during its training camp there prior to the 2009 World
Championships in London.
That service and hospitality, combined with a World Class facility,
made it the obvious choice of where to train during the crucial
final weeks of preparation for the Olympics."
The announcement is a major coup
for Waveney Gymnastics Centre which has established itself as one
of the foremost facilities of its type in the country. Equipped
with the same make of apparatus that will be used in 2012 it is
hoped to attract at least one more team to the facility to prepare
for 2012. Commenting on the announcement Centre Manager Vikki
Rogers said “This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. We are
determined to seize it with both hands not just for the club but
also for the town and the community”.
Canada becomes Suffolk’s third
confirmed pre-games training camp to date with Rwanda committed to
Bury St Edmunds and Azerbaijan having signed a ‘memorandum of
understanding’ with Ipswich.
