Men’s gymnasts are the latest Canadian athletes to clinch a team spot for the Paris Olympics next summer.
Needing a top-12 finish from Sunday’s qualification round at artistic world championships, Canada amassed 249.26 points across six disciplines to qualify fourth for Tuesday’s team final in Antwerp, Belgium that will be live streamed at 1:30 p.m.
“Mission accomplished,” René Cournoyer, the lone men’s team member to compete at the Tokyo Olympics three years ago, told Gymnastics Canada.
Felix Dolci of Saint-Eustache, Que., also excelled during the team qualification, placing eighth on the horizontal bar with a score of 14.133.
A young and fierce competitor, the 21-year-old competed at the 2018 Youth Olympic Games and was a junior world champion the following year.
Gymnastics Canada also said Zachary Clay of Langley, B.C., who has made seven world championship appearances, played a pivotal role in Sunday’s achievement by demonstrating his prowess on the pommel horse.
