TEAM FINALS ❤️🇨🇦 an incredible 5th place for our team tying our best ever finish from 12 years ago. So proud of this team and result! Such a magical feeling out there. Congratulations to all the teams 👏🏻 (Via Ellie Black's Instagram)
No one ever expects Canada to do well in women’s gymnastics, but this year they really proved themselves in the team event. Nowadays it’s basically a given (at least when Simone is competing) that the states is getting gold. So it’s really a competition between everyone else for silver and bronze. Even if they didn’t get a medal, Canada should be extremely proud of themselves. I just think it sucks that the mistake that *might have* cost them bronze was made by Ellie of all people, cause you know how much she’s gonna be upset with herself. It’s not guaranteed that they would have won a medal at all, especially given how close it was between the UK and Brazil, but it’s just upsetting that you know she’s probably gonna blame herself.
Canada's best gymnast, Ellie Black, is defying gravity as she graces the mats doing her floor exercise. She had the best routine choreography so far in my humble opinion. Her timing was perfect, and her moves were incredible!!!😊😋 She did many things that I hadn't seen before. Her passes were phenomenal 😍 WOW!! I loved her robotic moves the most and her passes, too.
Exactly when the music ended, Ellie struck this pose. Perfect timing. Spectacular!! She's sooooooo good. Way to go, Ellie!! You rocked it!! It's worth watching this routine. Still, I gotta say it.... go USA!!! 😁
What makes me sad is that Ellie’s score on balance beam from Team Finals would have won her the silver medal … if only she had been able to make it into balance beam finals and then Team Canada could win an Olympic medal *cries*
