Robert Watson of Port Coquitlam won the Senior men's all-around title at the 2012 Elite Canada gymnastics competition on the weekend in Mississauga, Ont.
After a tough year in 2011 when he was hampered by a shoulder injury, Watson, 18, also captured individual silver medals in event finals for high bar, floor and parallel bars.
Coached by Richmond Gymnastics Club's Frank Szabo, Jr., Watson has goals of representing Canada at the 2016 and 2020 Summer Olympics.
Meanwhile, Coquitlam's Brittany Rogers placed second all-around in the Senior women's category with 55.150 points, behind only Kristina Vaculik of Whitby, Ont., and her 56.350 mark.
Last month, Rogers was part of the Canadian women's team which qualified at a last-chance meet for next summer's 2012 Olympics in London, England.
Rogers followed up a strong showing in the all around with the gold medal on uneven bars and silver on vault.
"It was a huge confidence boost for sure," Rogers said. "Any meet leading up to these Games is a big stepping stone."

Still, Rogers must compete with her teammates in the months ahead to determine the six gymnasts who will be selected to compete in the Games.
"It's going to be stressful for sure," Rogers said. "We're close as a team but we also have that inner competitor inside of us to try and get a spot on the Olympic team. The pressure is on and it's all about hitting your routines and staying healthy. Everybody is in the same boat so we all know what to expect."
