TORONTO – Canadian gymnast Ellie Black is five-for-five in medals at the Pan Am Games.
Black won gold in the women’s balance-beam competition and then again in the floor exercise Wednesday to add her impressive haul.
The 19-year-old Halifax native won gold in the all-around, bronze in the vault and helped Canada earn silver in the team event.
Black, who nailed her balance-beam routine with a score of 15.050 at the highest difficulty level, has won at least one medal in each of the past four days of competition.
After her floor exercise routine that got her a score of 14.400, she blew kisses to the adoring crowd at Ricoh Coliseum as fans roared and waved Canadian flags.
Black put on a dominant performance at these Games that Canadian men’s gymnast Scott Morgan called “an inspiration.”
