Richard O‘Brien Chronicle Staff At the age of six, Robyn Jalbert got her inspiration to go into gymnastics from a perfect ‘10.‘ That was when she lived in Montreal in 1976 and her mother, Gwyn, took her to the Olympics to watch Nadia Comaneci perâ€" form. Comaneci broke new ground in gymnasâ€" tics by scoring 10‘s and the excitement created by the Romanian wore off on Jalbert. Soon after that, the Jalbert family moved to Waterloo and Robyn joined the Cambridge Kips when she was seven. She‘s now 17, a Grade 11 student at Waterloo collegiate and she‘s been a member of the Kâ€"W Gymnastics Club for two years. She isn‘t going to compete internationâ€" ally as Comaneci did and scoring a ‘10‘ is a lot to ask, although she did score 9.75 on the uneven bars in the Club ‘A‘ section of the Central Western Ontario high school meet last month. What she has done is win the allâ€"Ontario high school meet while competing as a member of WCI Vikings team. More recently, she won the overall senior ‘A‘ division of the provincial meet at York University after getting off to a bad start. "I had a really bad warmup on bars," Jalbert said of her start at Rork Universiâ€" ty. ‘"My hand slipped and I landed on my stomach on the bar but I got better through the meet. My dad (John) said 1 was on the uphill." _ Jalbert started with an 8.8 on vault but came back with a vengeance on bars to score 9.2 and tie for first on that apparatus.

Credit for her improvement goes to Sandy Pryer, beam coach and floor choreographer, and coach John Parker. We had to try and change some of her techniques and she was openâ€"minded about changing her techniques," said Parker. ‘"She‘s really enjoying it because she can do the things. For senior ‘A,‘ she probably has the most consistent routines on all four apparatus." C Parker says the competitive life span of a female gymnast is just six or seven years so he‘s delighted to hear that Jalbert will compete at least one more season. One thing she won‘t do, however, is try to join clubmate Allison Hscott at her level of expertise. Hiscott competes interâ€" nationally as a member of the Canadian team. She plans to make a transition into coaching and she‘s already put in some time at WCI with Kaarina Tulisalo‘s Vikâ€" "I helped when I could (at WCI) which wasn‘t very much because I was already training here. I‘ll probably coach a little balance beam and first on floor, scoring 9.25 in both events. ‘‘The coaching here is Pfeally good," Jalbert said at the Kâ€"W club. "When I go to competition I‘m more confident in my routines. I still worry about falling, but not as much." more than last year."‘ The win at the provincials came as a surprise to her and capped a season of improvement. Last year, she was fourth in both the provincials and allâ€"Ontario high school meet. }
