Sask Sport Inc. announced the finalists and recipients for the 2011 Saskatchewan Sport Awards, which includes the Athlete of the Year Awards Finalists, and the Award Recipients for the Coaching Awards, the Volunteer Awards and the Officials’ Awards. The Saskatchewan Sport Awards celebrate the outstanding achievements of Saskatchewan amateur athletes and those individuals who provide their support so these athletes can achieve their goals. This year, the committee received 72 nominations for the various award categories.
Gymnastics Saskatchewan is pleased to announce that Markos Baikas, Head Coach of Saskatoon’s Taiso Gym Club, Gymnastics Saskatchewan’s High Performance Coach, and Gymnastics Canada’s National Junior Coach, has been selected as Sask Sport’s Coach of the Year for 2011. Markos has had an outstanding year, coaching his athletes to international, national and provincial medals.
We are also proud to announce that Curtis Graves, also of the Taiso Gymnastics Club, has been selected as a finalist in the Youth Athlete of the Year category. Curtis competed as a Junior National Team member last year, winning countless medals and awards in international and national level competitions.

Congratulations to Markos and Curtis! Please join Gymnastics Saskatchewan, our board and staff, in celebrating the successes of these two individuals.
Sask Sport has made some changes to the Saskatchewan Sports Awards program. A Sport Awards Banquet will not be held this year - instead, they are going to celebrate and profile the achievements of Saskatchewan’s top athletes, teams, coaches, officials and volunteers throughout the year. |

Jean-Paul Caron, President & CEO of Gymnastics Canada, announced at a press conference yesterday that the 2012 Viterra Canadian Gymnastics Championships will be held in Regina, May 21-26.
At a news conference held in Regina to launch the event, Klara Miller, CEO of Gymnastics Saskatchewan and Chair of the 2012 Canadian Gymnastics Championships said, “Viterra’s title sponsorship is another example of this company’s deep commitment to Saskatchewan, to healthy
lifestyles, and to contributing to positive social outcomes in the community.” She added that “the Gymnastics Saskatchewan management committee is hard at work and hopes to recruit 800 volunteers to help manage the week-long event.”
“Our title sponsorship of the Canadian Gymnastics Championships is a natural fit for Viterra, given our position as a global supplier of healthy food ingredients to meet the nutritional needs of people around the world. Our employees are committed to healthy lifestyles, with many of them involved in
sport and fitness. We look forward to this event being a great success,” said Mayo Schmidt, Viterra’s President and CEO.
Over 1,100 athletes, coaches and officials will travel to Regina to compete for the right to be considered the best gymnasts in Canada. Several athletes in attendance will be building toward an appearance in the 2012 Olympic Games in London, England. All four disciplines will be participating: women’s artistic gymnastics, men’s artistic gymnastics, tumbling & trampoline and rhythmic gymnastics.
Several Team Saskatchewan gymnasts are expected to compete at the 2012 Viterra Canadian Gymnastics Championships. These dedicated athletes, all students, often train in excess of 25 or more hours each week throughout the year. The athletes have strength, balance, agility, flexibility, poise determination and above all, athleticism and sportsmanship.
