The Canadian
Olympic Committee (COC) and Gymnastics Canada, on Thursday named the athletes
of the Canadian teams of artistic and rhythmic gymnastics for the 2015 Pan
American Games in Toronto, to be held from July 10 to 26 .
Artistic
gymnastics competitions will take place at the Coliseum in Toronto from July 11
to 15, with the team events, the individual all-around and apparatus finals for
men and women.
The unique
opportunity to experience a multi-sport event on Canadian soil, combined with
several Olympic qualification opportunities for Rio 2016, made these Games an
amazing experience for high-performance Canadian athletes.
