Canada Announces 2015 World Championships Team


Canada has officially announced their team for the 2015 World Championships, which will be held Oct. 23 through Nov. 1 in Glasgow, Scotland. The gymnasts listed are the same as the gymnasts announced in the nominative roster here. The men's and women's team both list seven athletes and one will likely be named the alternate closer to the championships.

Canada will look to secure their spot as a team at the 2016 Rio Olympics next summer. In order to do so, they will need to place in the top eight as a team at the World Championships.
