KRISTINA COMPETES!
July 31, 2012 – The Canadian women’s team made history coming in 5th overall in the Olympic Women’s Artistic Gymnastics Team Finals. Gemini Gymnastics was jumping with all the girls watching in the gym, covered by a number of local media outlets, including CTV which had live feeds from the gym!
Starting strong on floor with Ellie Black, Victoria Moors and Dominique Pegg, the girls looked great, scoring 3rd overall! Vault was next, with strong showings from Ellie, Dominique and Brittany Rogers, with a 4th overall score. Bars were next, where Kristina Vaculik showed a solid routine, along with Victoria and Brittany – 6th overall. With all eyes watching, the beam was the final event. Kristina, Dominique and Ellie all performed well, again achieving a 6th overall score on the event.
The Canadian girls scored 5th overall in the Team Event, behind (1) USA; (2) Russia; (3) Romania; and(4) China. For a team that had never reached this far before – this is an absolutely amazing result. Congratulations to the entire team and their coaches, including Gemini’s Elena Davydova and Dave Brubaker (Bluewater Gymnastics) on this unprecedented accomplishment.

Canada’s team made history today when they reached the team finals for the first time for a Canadian gymnastics team in a non-boycotted Olympics.
Team Canada started strong on bars, with all four athletes competing well. Kristina scored 13.80 with a well-executed routine. Beam was tough on the team. Trouble started early when Victoria Moors wobbled and fell. Kristina struggled, falling and scored a disappointing 11.33. However, Kristina did not let this get her down. Coming back on floor, all of Team Canada remained poised. Kristina excelled and scored 14.366. In the final event, Kristina was first off. First vault was well-executed. Kristina came around for her second vault, but trouble was ahead when the judges did not have her scheduled for a second vault. Discussions between Elena and the head judge ensued. Elena sprinted off for the paperwork, returning to the judge’s table. Kristina remained calm during this time. Judge’s had to call upstairs, eventually handing the phone to Elena. Finally, Kristina was cleared to compete. Kristina landed her second vault with a small step out – great job! Score 14.1 combined. All of the team scored well, with Ellie Black and Brittany Rogers in contention for event finals.
It was then a nail-biter for the team to wait to see if they would qualify for the Team Finals. The team had already outscored their rivals Australia, and had to wait for Germany to complete their rotations in Subdivision IV. Canadians were watching upstairs for the final scores – and they had placed 6th – ahead of Germany. Cheers erupted as the placements were announced, meaning that mathematically Canada had made Team Finals! Kristina and Elena were jumping up and down and hugging – and a few tears were shed! Lubo and Angela soon arrived to congratulate Kristina, Elena and the rest of the team! We are so proud of our Olympians and will be watching Tuesday when they appear in Team Finals. See video of this momentous event!

On January 11, 2012, Team Canada placed second over-all at the London Test Event, securing a team spot for the the Canadian Women’s Artistic Gymnastics Team at the 2012 London Olympics. Gemini’s Kristina Vaculik, coached by Elena Davydova, had a strong showing, finishing 15th overall.
Kristina also competed in the bars event finals, placing fourth in a very competetive field, coming behind the bronze medalist Yao Jinnan by only .034 points! A very strongly executed beautiful routine from Kristina!
