Gymnastics is a growing sport —

tanada easily dominated
semaastes at last month’s
ciokbawealth Games in
“optua, Wsing five of six
ve ety etltvedt in individual
vind aft sweeping team
eves.

ik yeany ways, gym-
aé-cies, included in the
~~ aa forthe first time, was
a breeze tor Canadians even
(hough the Australians and
British offered some
challenge. The level of
perarmance was very wide
spread from the superb
display of Victoria's Philip
Delesalie down to the lone
gymnast from Banglidesh
whose vaults could be
duplicated by most athletic
high school students. This
was his first international
competition and while he
scored poorly he had full
support from the crowd.

The Canadians, however,
were expected to dominate
and the only surprise was the
fact that Surrey’s Karen
Kelsall finished fourth and
out of the medal running in
individual events. Fatigue
and pressure played a part in

the 15-year-ald’s disap-
pointing result.

Aside from Kelsall’s
personal performance, the
games turned oul to be a
magnificent confidence
builder for Canadian
gymnastics and also
provided the sport with its
most extensive exposure
ever in Canada via
television.

For the first time many
Canadians realized that
gymnastics in this country is
2 Sporl worthy of notice, And
instead of applauding
Europeans and Russians on
rings and bars, we hada rare
opportunity to applaud our
own athletes. A cir-
cumstance ike this is all too
rare in Canada, particularly
in amateur sports.

So the games had a very
positive meaning
gymnastics. They marked
ihe beginning of the end of
(hesport's minor stature and
the start of its first steps into
the world-wide scene as an
up and coming nation.

Which brings us to nex
month when Canada sends
its best team in the history of

for -

”

the sport to France for the
World Championships.
Unlike the Commonwealth
Games, this time we're
going to play with the “big
kids”, the Romanians, the
Russians, the Japanese etc.
Caro] Anne Letheren, Vice
President of the Canadian
Gymnastics Federations,
emphatically states: ‘we
could placein the top eight at
the World Championships.”
Putting that in prospec-

tive, if the Canadians were to -
do the above, it would be an -

improvement in the neigh-
bourhood of 1,000 percent.

Of the 11 Canadians going
to France, the one with the
best chance of breaking into
thenearly exclusive group of
strong nations is Delesalle.
He’s only 21 years of age -
young for a male gymnast -
but already he has gym
people on the international

. scene talking in wonder.

In Edmonten he left the
15,000 unlookers gasping,
particularly with a high bar
dismount at the end ef ihe
competition. He looks at
these World Championships
as his first opportunity to

make a big name for himself
as & youngster with a lot of
promise.

No, he probably won't win
a medal - that’s down ihe

road a piece - but he does .

want to make his mark.
You have to understand
that gymnastics islike figure
skating. Judges determine
the score and reputation
counts whether judges like to
admit that or not, And it’s
this reputation which
Delesalle seeks. The other
members of the Canadian
team (Warren Long of
Montreal, Jean Choquette of
Montreal, Owen Walstrom of
Vancouver, Nigel Rothwell
of Windsor and Pierre Clavel
of Montreal) are behind
Delesalle in terms of
development, but any in-
lernational experience is

~ well worth acquiring.

The picture on the
women’s side is different.
Kelsall rested for 10 days
following the Com-
monwealth Games arid it did
her the world of good. Up
until the games, 1970 had
been one disappointment
after another for the Surrey

girl as she also lost her
national title earlier in the
year to Eifi Schlegel of
Toronto, who won the gold in
Edmonton.

At recent trials -in
Waterloo for the World
Championships, Kelsall
found her old form and won
the meel handily with 76.25
points. Schlegel was second
with 75.70 points and Sherry
Hawco of Cambridge, On-
tario was third.

Bul unlike the men, there's
not that much difference in’
talent on the women's Leam
among Kelsall, Schlegel,
Hawco and Monica Goer-
mann, Who had a disap-
pointing performance at
Waterloo, but makes the
team regardless. .

When these girls enter an
international meet, they
usually have two battles to
fight. First it’s competition
with other gymnasts, then
it's competilion among
themselves.

Regardless, it should be
very interesting to follow the
championships in France.
Has Canada made it as a
major gymnasiics com-
petiter on the world scene?

We'll soon find out.

Unknown _
champion

TORONTO (CP) —
Toronto swimmer Loreen
Passfield, 20, says no one

 Imows who she is although

she expects to be named the
world's female marathon
champion swimmer again
this year.

“Being the world cham-
pion doesn’t seem to mean
much,” she said in an in-
terview. ‘Nobody knows me.

“You have to do something

really really super to get no-
ticed, even in your own
town.”
. Loreen swam more than
300 kilometres in training
this year and 180 kilometres
in competition, with prize-
money totalling §2,500.

She arrived back in
Toronto last week after
swimming to France from
England in nine hours—an
hour and 20 minutes short of
the women's record for the
English Channel.

Loreen said completing §

. swim is*hot good enough,

have to do it big, break a

record or do it underwater or —

something because I am still
unknown.”

She expects to be named
world champion for the
second time this fall by the
Chicagobased World
Professional
Swimming Federation.

“The assoclation sanc-
tioned three marathgn races
this year and I had a first
and lwo seconds in those
reces,” she said, ‘That is
better than any other woman
marathoner, so 1 should
win.” .

Two years ago, Loréen
was in the middie of Lake
Ontario, trying to gain some
of the attention captured
earlier by Toronto swimmer
Cindy Nicholas.

Loreen was ahead of
Cindy's record of 15 hours, 36
minutes for the 51-kilometre
crossing and two-thirds of
the way home, when & squall
came up and she was pulled
from the water.

' Loreen did beat Cindy in
two long-distance races in
Quebec,

“Maybe I need an agent
like Cindy Nicholas has,”
Loreen said. ‘Somebody
who will go out and tell
peuple there is a world

champion swimmer = in
town.”
Loreen, who has com-

pleled a one-year, animal-
carecourse, hopes to work in
a veterinary clinic or pet
store. ,
