Denelle Celeste Pedrick (born February 26, 1999) is a Canadian artistic gymnast. She represented Canada at the 2022 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, contributing to the team's historic bronze medal finish.[2] A collegiate gymnast at Central Michigan University from 2017 to 2020, she is a two-time Summer Universiade participant (2017, 2019) and won a silver medal in the team competition at the 2017 edition.[3]

Gymnastics career

[edit]

Pedrick began gymnastics at age two.[4] She was an Elite Canada qualifier from 2010-2016, and a Canadian nationals qualifier from 2011-2016.[5]

She became a collegiate gymnast at Central Michigan University in 2017. In 2019 and 2020, she was named Mid-American Conference Gymnast of the Year.[6] In 2020, she ranked first in the Mid-American Conference and 18th nationally with an all-around score of 39.355.[5][7]

Pedrick won the level 10 all-around at the Canadian Nationals in May 2017, leading to an invitation to a Team Canada tryout.[8] She was selected to compete at the 2017 Summer Universiade in Taipei City, where she won team silver[9] - Canada's first ever team gymnastics medal at the competition. She placed 11th on beam and 15th on floor exercise, but did not vault due to an ankle injury.[8] Her teammates were Jessica Dowling, Briannah Tsang, and Olympians Ellie Black and Brittany Rodgers.[10]

At the 2019 Summer Universiade in Naples, Pedrick finished seventh all-around, which was the highest finish for any North American.[11] The Canadian team - Pedrick, Jessica Dowling, and Alana Fischer - finished fourth.[12][13]

After her collegiate career, Pedrick felt she "had some unfinished business in the sport," and decided to make a comeback to the elite level with the goal of joining Canada's national team.[14]

At the 2022 Canadian Championships, Pedrick was first on vault and second all-around and on floor. At DTB Pokal in Stuttgart, she won vault gold.[15] At the 2022 World Championships in Liverpool, Pedrick contributed to the team's bronze medal finish - a first ever medal for Canada, which also qualified a Canadian team to the 2024 Summer Olympics.[16]
