McDonald earned these standings at the World Championships in Montreal on the Nov. 9 weekend in competition with 158 gymnasts fromn 41 countries. After two days of team competition the Grade il Denis O'Con- nor High School student's personal per- formance was ranked 33rd. To arrive at that ranking she said of- ficiais had taken ber compulsory routine score plus ber optional score, divided by two,. and then ranked the results against the other competitors. Only the top 36 were allowed to continue to the individual com- petition on Saturday, with the exception that one country could send no more than three of its six-member team. For the individual competition only op- tional routines were used.

'A couple of weeks before I added a new release move, and it went very well. " This made two release moves which McDonald had incor- porated into ber routine -- something that judges are watching for these days, her mother said. Her performance on the beam earned ber a 98.6, a mark she was not entirely happy with. III think had I been from a different country 1 might bave had a bet- ter chance of making the next-day finals. McDonald said since Canada was not in the top eight countries - Canada's team pIaced ninth on the first two days of competition -- it was marked more severely. "In competition I don't watch my scores," she said. "II need ail the concentration directed toward the meet." "If I had competed in a Canadian competition, my score would have been higher. I was judged by judges from countries that were also competing for eighth place. "1I'm not using that as an excuse," she said, "lWe have to make a namne for ourselves until we get there. Maybe next year if we come in the top eight, our team members might have a better chance of making the finals." The judging plus one faîl on the beam kept McDonald from making the last-day finals, but she was still happy with ber solid performance and that of the team. "The team bad a lot of fun and worked well. I hope we can improve; if we're better as a team, itîIl be easier for us to be recugnized as in- dividuals." S THE CORPORATION OF )~THETOWNOFWHITBY . .
