Most people have never met someone who competed at the national level in gymnastics. Liam Vanounou is the rare exception — and he's been doing it since he was 7 years old.
In junior competition, Liam didn't just win. He dominated. Three consecutive years as Ontario Champion — meaning three straight years as the best under-18 gymnast in the entire province. In a sport where the margin between first and third is measured in tenths of a point, that kind of consistency means something.
Then came Elite Canada — the national championship where the country's best gymnasts compete for everything. Liam podiumed at 16. The next year, he won. To put that in perspective: at 17, he stood on top of a podium as the best in Canada.
It didn't stop there. Liam has competed internationally — facing national teams from the USA, Mexico, and Iceland. He represented Canada at the Iceland invitational, where Canada took first place in the team finals.
He's now competing as a senior — the adult elite category, the highest level the sport has. He trains 20 hours a week. He knows not just how to perform at this level, but how to build toward it — step by step, skill by skill.
That knowledge is now available to you. Not from a textbook. Not from a YouTube channel. From someone who lives it.
