Tiny report. I thought Rose Woo was the tiniest of the tiny here, but I just saw her and Heaven Latimer standing side by side, and they appear about the same height. Shallon Olsen, who actually hasn't even turned 10 yet, looks tinier still.

Shallon Olsen: In a long-sleeved ice blue leotard today. Like Rose Kalam Woo, Shallon is tinier than anyone on the floor. Handspring front to great landing.

Sophie Guindon, floor: 1.5. Layout. Lovely music, obviously from a ballet. Sophie does the Anna Pavlov move where she fold into a back walkover from her knees.

Toe stalder, toe stalder to high, full turn, bail, sole circle to high, blind, little leg separation on front giant, goregous double front with legs glued together, small step. Nice routine!

1:46 p.m.: Announcement. Earlier this week I inadvertently wrote that tickets for this Canadian National championship were sold out for the last three nights of competition. NOT TRUE! If you're in or around Kamloops and want to see some beautiful gymnastics at the Tournament Capital Centre at Thompson Rivers University, tickets are still available!

The venue is beautiful and the gymnastics has been so far as well. It won't break the bank to come out here, either -- the most expensive tickets are $15, and there are discounts depending on age. Kids under six get in free.

This gymnastics public service announcement will be repeated a few times throughout the weekend. Think of it as a blog commercial. Onwards.

KAMLOOPS, B.C., 1:41 p.m.: Welcome to Examiner.com's live coverage of the 2010 Canadian Championships, High Performance Novice women's finals. I'll be blogging this competition live all afternoon, so please check back often!
