Human pyramid at La Salle Peel Road, circa 1967.
I grew up with a group of like-minded schoolmates who were, and still are, enamoured by the grace, swashbuckling style and power of gymnastics in our primary and secondary school years.
We had regular practices three times a week after school and sometimes even on Sundays. Some worried parents were concerned that the long and rigorous training might affect our studies adversely. However, in hindsight, most of us could study better after the training. Shutting out all distractions during workouts before turning to books increased our concentration power.
