He wasn't at the 2008 Olympic Games, but Slovenia's Aljaz Pegan will be in action at Gymnix in Montreal in early March.
In the Men’s competition line-up is 2005 World Champion and 2006 and 2007 Silver medallist on Horizontal Bar Aljaz Pegan (SLO). Also registered is 2008 Olympic Silver medallist and winner of the 2008 World Cup Final in Madrid (ESP), Thomas Bouhail from France on Vault. On Pommel Horse, spectators can look forward to taking in the performances of Croatian Robert Seligman, who ranked 5th on the FIG Ranking List of the past Olympic Cycle and Hungarian Krisztian Berki, Silver medallist in Madrid.
Canada Gymnastics and its CEO Jean-Paul Caron have the expertise required to host the discipline’s international elite, and are sure to spur their gymnasts to a place on the podium. The young Brittany Rogers comes to mind, an up and coming star who won the first Individual All-around at the Elite Canada 2008 competition. Keep an eye on her!
Austrian champion Barbara Gasser, who has been training in Canada since 2003, has also signed up for the event. Gasser aims to participate at the European and World Championships this year.
It’s been observed, but the FIG could be a bit more…professional in its press releases. Besides its poor grammar, on the website, Berki’s name is “Berki Krisztian” and there are some random capitalizations (Silver medallist).
