Lia Monica Fontaine
Lia Monica Fontaine, who became the second Canadian WAG athlete to win a silver medal on vault at her debut world championships in 2025, is set to headline this weekend’s Elite Canada competition, which begins tomorrow in Calgary.
Her worlds teammate Gabrielle Black is also on the roster, as are 2025 senior national team members Alyssa Guerrier Calixte, Amy Jorgensen, and Lia Redick, and the men’s side is also stacked, featuring Aidan Li, who became Canada’s first worlds pommel horse finalist in history, and his 2025 teammates René Cournoyer, William Émard, Jayson Rampersad, and Sam Zakutney.
In addition to the domestic competition, which will help decide many of this season’s international assignments for the Canadians, we’ll see a team match between Canada and Stanford University, with Olympic medalist Asher Hong leading the squad that also features Pan American Games medalist Jun Iwai and a number of other Americans who are preparing for their own elite season in addition to competing at the collegiate level this season.
The competition will be live streamed via the Home Team Network for $25 CAD, and you can follow live scores via Live Meet. We’ve also got the complete roster and the full schedule (all times local to Calgary) below, and will share updates throughout the weekend on Twitter.
