Ellie Black, Olympic Gymnast on Team Canada, visits MSVU Day Camp
On July 14, 20 year old, Olympic gymnast, Ellie Black visited MSVU's Summer Day Camp. Ellie is from Halifax and has been training at Halifax Alta Gymnastics Club since she was a young girl.
In Ellie's presentation to the campers she focused on inspiring them to find something they are passionate about, and pursue their dreams! She told our campers they must "believe it to achieve it!" Within her presentation she explained the components of Women's and Men's artistic gymnastics and was showing them videos of her competing at the 2015 Pan Am Games in Toronto.
On July 24, Ellie starts her trip to the Olympics. She starts by heading to Ontario from the 24-29 of July to train with the rest of Team Canada. On the 29th the team leaves from Ontario and heads to Rio. You can catch Ellie competing at her second Olympics from August 7-11!
All of the campers were very happy to meet Ellie and would like to thank her for taking time to come see them and wish her luck! We will be cheering for you Ellie!
