Gymnast Ellie Black wins third straight all around title at Canadian championships

Halifax gymnast Ellie Black earned a spot on the podium Wednesday, winning bronze in the balance beam final and silver in the floor exercise final.

Nova Scotia Olympian Ellie Black has won her third straight women’s all-around senior title Sunday at the Canadian gymnastics championships.

Despite being ranked third after the qualification round, Black bounced back with a strong performance.

The Halifax native edged Manitoba’s Isabela Onyshko by a score of 57.95 to 57.55.

Results from this championship will play a key role in the selection of teams for the Pan American Games this summer in Toronto.

Black’s win makes her a leading contender for a Pan Am Games berth.

Officials say the Canadian men’s and women’s Pan Am teams will be announced on June 4th.
