Rene wanted his facility open as much as the city would allow him to give the children an outlet to express themselves through gymnastics.
“I think sports or any social contact for any child is important,” he said. “They’re (kids) not going to understand the ins and outs of a pandemic and to social distance. It’s also our job to teach them.”
Champions Gymnastics allowed PTBOCanada including editor David Tuan Bui to do a demo of their facilities including the safety protocols.
Bui says that performing gymnastics is not as easy as it looks.
“I have a background in pro wrestling and have done feats similar to what these kids are doing,” he said. “I thought I was going to do well but I struggled more than I thought. These kids are incredibly impressive with how athletic they are.”
