Congratulations to Ritmika gymnasts !
Ritmika's
Alexandra Orlando
continues her outstanding performances,winning three gold medals in the rope,
hoop, and clubs finals.
Only an unfortunate equipment failure - when her ribbon detached from the stick -
prevented her from a complete sweep, such as she did when she won 6 gold medals
at the 2006 Commonwealth Games.
Alexandra Orlando was selected to be the
Canadian flagbearer for the closing ceremonies at the
XV Pan American Games at Maracana Stadium on July 29th.
