Canada s Kyle Shewfelt serves notice comeback is for real

<< Kyle SHEWFELT, Canada's 2004 Olympic champion (floor exercises) hated the idea of embarrassing himself in his first judged gymnastics competition since breaking both of his legs 10 months ago.
Turns out, the charismatic Calgarian need not have worried in the lead-up to an Olympic test event  at Edmonton's Capital City Gymnastics Club. ...

 Last week Gymnastics Canada Gymnastique (GCG) announced its 2008 men's Olympic team, which will compete in Beijing next month ...:

Kyle Shewfelt headlines the team, which also includes:
- Nathan Gafuik, Grant Golding, David Kikuchi, Brandon O'Neill and Adam Wong.
Alternates are Ken Ikeda and Jared Walls.

Shewfelt's return to the team caps a remarkable comeback following a double knee injury prior to the 2007 World Championships in Stuttgart.
He missed the Canadian Championships in early June, but competed at the two team trials since.
