Rio Olympics 2016: A look at the women who will compete with Dipa Karmakar at the vault finals

#6 Shallon Olsen (Canada)

Shallon Olsen at 16 is a prodigious talent

Shallon Olsen became the first ever Canadian woman to perform and stick an Amanar in an international competition.

At only 16, Olsen landed it perfectly only to following it up with a handspring tucked Rudi that earned her a comfortable spot in the finals with a total score of 14.950.

With the whole of Canada rooting for her, Olsen has already won widespread praise for the nearly perfect Amanar landing. This is Olsen’s first major international games after the 2016 Pacific Rim Gymnastics Championships and the 2015 City of Jesolo Trophy.
