Lori Strong had a big finish in ’87, winning honors as Canada’s top junior female athlete to cap a great year as our nation’s top female gymnast. Whitby’s finest athlete, she was 15th overall at the world championships in Rotterdam, the best finish ever for a Canadian woman. And among her 90 – odd gold medals and two major international championships, she has attained that pinnacle of skill with perfect 10’s. Her errorless aerial twist on the parallel bars may result in her name being applied to the move. And with the countdown underway toward the summer Olympics, Whitby and the world will see and hear more of Strong.
