No Olympics For Peng Peng Lee :(

This is such sad news. Peng Peng Lee injured her knee while attempting the DTY at the Canadian Nationals. Lee withdrew from the Canadian trials. I was looking forward to seeing Lee represent Canada at the Olympics. I kept on telling my friends that she was one of the major stars of Canadian gymnastics and that when they watch the Olympics they should look out for Peng Peng Lee. Now I will have to tell them she won't be competing at the Olympics. Instead she will be the honorary team captain, "Gymnastics Canada has named Lee as the Honorary WAG Team Captain for the 2012 Olympic Games as she is a dynamic and respected leader among the WAG NT athletes and that her winning attitude and determination are commendable." Click for source

I wanted to see Lee perform this FX at the Olympics.

Some Canadian Stuff/News

The Canadian Nationals are currently being held in Regina. Here are the results for day 1 Click Here. 1) Kristina Vaculik, 2) Victoria Moors and 3) Ellie Black are currently leading the AA standings. Peng Peng Lee sadly injured her knee doing the DTY and will miss nationals. I wish her a speedy recovery. A lot of gym fans, including me wants to see Lee at the Olympic games. It would feel wrong not having Lee on the team.

Here is Black's floor routine. Note the amazing 5/2 through to 3/1. That is an innovated opening combo.

Miss Christine "Peng Peng" Lee

Lee is my favourite Canadian gymnast. She has loads of personality and energy. She's definitely a lock for the Canadian Olympic team. She can really sell a floor routine. Her beam is full of difficult skills and she does two flairs as her mount! I'm not crazy about her movements (a bit spastic) but it works for her. She will be a Canadian star at the Olympics. I know she has to go through all the competition process to become an Olympian but I'm confident she will make the Canadian team. I'm so proud to be a Canadian and my bias heart will be cheering for the Canadian team at the Olympics.
