Sadie Finkelstein, 11, will be showing off her skills this weekend in Windsor at the Ontario Women’s Provincial Gymnastics Championships.
Finkelstein, along with seven teammates from Infinity Gymnastics in Utopia qualified during the past season in the top 32 of their age and skill level categories.
They will now face off against the best gymnasts in the province.
“It’s quite an accomplishment for Infinity Gymnastics in their first year of operation,” said head coach Michelle Pothier.
The women’s provincial team trains 18-20 hours per week for 48 weeks of the year, a serious commitment for some very young and very talented athletes.
Athletes will be looking for personal bests, top finishes and good all around scores, which will enable them to move up levels for the next season.
“It’s a very remarkable thing these girls do, I think all children should have this kind of passion for something, art, music, sport. The drive to move forward makes them truly inspiring,” said Pothier.
The Ontario Provincial Championships take place at the St. Denis Sports Centre in Windsor April 9-12.
