Black back with three silvers

KOPER, SLOVENIA — Canadian gymnast Ellie Black captured three silver medals at the FIG World Challenge Cup in her first competition since the Rio Olympic Games.

The Halifax native placed second on the beam, floor and uneven bars. Black narrowly missed a medal with her vault routine, finishing .300 points off the podium in fourth place.

“It’s nice to be back with some of my Canadian teammates,” Black said. “I’m happy with the performances that we had, and we can continue to build from here.”

Rose Woo of Brossard, Que., also qualified for the uneven bars, beam and vault finals, finishing in sixth, seventh and eighth place, respectively.
