Gymnast competing at Winter Games

By Tyson Off Staff Writer

A 15-year-old gymnast out of Yorkton’s Springers Gymnastic Club is representing Sask. at the Canada Winter Games in PEI.

The club’s Danica Signarowski will look to bring home the gold for the province and the city.

Yorkton This Week spoke with Jessica Ronn, Head Coach at Springers Gymnastics Club.

“She’s a level 10 athlete and she’s been doing gymnastics for probably 11 years,” said Ronn, adding, “she’s the top athelte in our gym.”

Ronn said Signarowski was originally named as alternate for the CWG at trials in Dec.

“She was named as an alternate initially back in Dec. — one of the athletes in Saskatoon was courted for the Junior National Team so she could not compete at Canada games — so Danica was in,” said Ronn, adding, “it all kind of worked out.”

Signarowski is one of 3600 participants to attend the CWG and is making history for Springer’s Gymnastics Club.

“She’s our first athlete ever to compete at this level so I just thought it was pretty awesome and

I just thought it was kind of a big deal for Yorkton,” said Ronn.

“She’s never been on a national stage before – she’s been to Western Canadian Championship...but she’s never competed on a national stage before – so this is high stakes.”

Signarowski will compete in several different gymastics events on Feb. 23 and 24, including beam, vault, floor and uneven bars.
