Elsabeth Ann "Ellie" Black[1] ONS (born 8 September 1995) is a Canadian artistic gymnast. She is a three-time Olympian, having represented her country at the 2012, 2016, and 2020 Olympics Games.[2][3] She is the 2017 World all-around silver medalist, making her the first Canadian gymnast to win a world all-around medal. Black is also the 2018 Commonwealth Games all-around champion, a two time Pan American Games all-around champion (2015, 2019), and a six-time Canadian national all-around champion (2013-2015, 2017-2019).[4] At the 2016 Olympic Games, Black finished 5th in the individual all-around. At the 2020 Olympic Games, Black placed 4th in the balance beam final, the highest placement in the olympics for a Canadian gymnast.

In 2018 she was named one of the greatest 15 athletes in Nova Scotian history.[5] In October, 2018, the Lieutenant-Governor of Nova Scotia, Arthur LeBlanc, announced that Black would be awarded the Order of Nova Scotia at a ceremony to be held on November 6, for her contribution as an ambassador for both gymnastics and the province stating "Ellie is an outstanding role model for her peers and young gymnasts, demonstrating a great work ethic and a graciousness in both victory and loss. Black takes time with her young fans, acknowledging their support and sharing her experiences". Black is only the second person under 25 to receive the Order of Nova Scotia, the first being hockey star Sidney Crosby.[6] She is regarded as the most successful Canadian female gymnast of all time based on her numerous accomplishments on the world and Olympic stage.

I have also worked to increase my difficulty and execution on beam and floor. My plan is to continue all the aspects of my training that have brought me success this far. The positive results from recent competitions are a strong motivator to keep working hard and improve further. I also intend to use what I have learned at the international meets that I've attended to help me. Hopefully this will prepare me to have a strong performance at Nationals, which is an important competition for the team selection."[20]

At the end of June, Black was one of the twelve gymnasts chosen to compete at the Final Olympic Selection meet in Gatineau, Canada.[21] On the first day of competition she placed sixth in the all around with a score of 52.050.[22] Based on her performances here and at the Canadian Championships she was selected to the five member Olympic team.[23]

2012 London Olympics[]

In July, Black competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, United Kingdom. She helped the Canadian team qualify to the team finals for the first time in history[24] and individually she qualified to the vault final with a score of 14.366.[25] After qualifications, Black said, "It was a fantastic experience and I had so much fun."[26] She later added, "This is my life's dream. Everybody here supports you and you support them, we all have each other's back. We had a couple mistakes but most of the competition was great."[27] In the team final, she contributed scores of 15.233 on vault, 14.266 on balance beam, and 14.208 on floor toward the Canadian team's fifth-place finish.[28] In the vault final, Black injured her left ankle on her first vault after landing on all fours, receiving a score of 0.000. She tried to attempt her second vault, but decided not to because of the injury, meaning she placed eighth.[29] Her coach, David Kikuchi, said, "She's disappointed that she wasn't able to do better. But what I'll tell her, and what she'll realize in the upcoming hours and days and weeks and months is: This Olympics was so amazing for her and our team."[30]

After the Olympics, Black stated that she would continue competing. She said, "I am very motivated to continue and build on the path I started in 2012. My first priority is to recover from injuries. This will be the focus for the next three months or so. My goal is to develop my gymnastics to the full potential, and hopefully to make more contributions on behalf of Nova Scotia and Canada."[31]

At the 2013 Summer Universiade, Black finished fourth in the all-around with a score of 55.000.[32] In the event finals she finished fourth on vault, third on beam, and tied for second on floor.[33]

Also in 2014, she competed at the 2014 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Nanning, China. Her team underperformed in the qualifying round, placing 12th, qualifying to the next World Championships, but failing to advance to the team final. Individually, Black qualified to the all around finals in fourteenth place and the balance beam final in fifth place. In the all around she placed 9th, the highest ever placement in a World or Olympic all-around final by a Canadian, besting compatriot Victoria Moors' 10th-place finish from the year before; Black nearly placed in the top 8, finishing only 0.001 points behind 8th-place finisher Jessica López of Venezuela.[38] In the balance beam final, Black placed seventh after a fall on her full twist, while Simone Biles of the United States went on to take the gold medal ahead of Bai Yawen of China and Aliya Mustafina of Russia.

In November 2014, Black traveled to Notts Gymnastics Academy to train with Becky Downie and the rest of their elite program.[39]

2015[]

In January 2015, Black competed at the Elite Canada competition, winning the beam title, which was her only event. Black competed at the 2015 AT&T American Cup in Arlington, TX on March 7, 2015 and placed 5th with an all-around score of 56.132.[40] In May, 2015, Black won her third consecutive National All Around title with a score of 57.950.

The Canadian team won a silver medal, and Black qualified 5th to the All Around final as well as qualifying to the vault, beam and floor finals. In the All Around Final, Black won the gold medal with a score of 58.150, becoming the first non-American woman to do so since 1983.[41] Black won the bronze medal in the vault final with an average score of 14.087. On July 15, she won two more gold medals at event finals. the first gold of the day was in beam with a score of 15.050, one point ahead of the silver medalist, Megan Skaggs.

In September 2015, Gymnastics Canada named Black to the World Championships team alongside Isabela Onyshko, Brittany Rogers, Audrey Rousseau, Sydney Townsend, and Victoria-Kayen Woo to compete in Glasgow. The Canadian team had a strong performance in the qualifying round and qualified to the team final in seventh place, ensuring a full team berth at the 2016 Olympic games. Black also qualified to the all around final in fourth place with a score of 57.299 and in third place to the balance beam final with a 14.600. In the team finals, she contributed scores of 14.233 on floor, 15.100 on vault and 13.566 on beam to help the Canadian team finish sixth, their best-ever team finish at a World Championships. Although Black was a contender to win an individual all-around medal (her qualifying score was less than .350 behind the second-highest qualifier, Giulia Steingruber), she fell on beam on her full twist, but still set a new record for the highest placement by a Canadian by finishing in seventh place. In the beam final, she fell on her full twist again and finished in seventh place for the second year in a row (had she replicated her score from the qualifying round, she would have won the silver medal).

2016[]

Black was chosen to represent Canada at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. The team failed to meet expectations and missed qualifying for the team final, finishing in ninth place just 0.168 points behind the Dutch team. Black also failed to qualify for the beam final due to a fall, but she did qualify to the all-around final in twelfth place with a score of 56.965 (her teammate Onyshko qualified in ninth). In the all-around final, Black delivered the performance of her life, scoring 14.500 on uneven bars, 14.566 on beam, 14.366 on floor, and 14.866 on vault to finish in fifth place with a score of 58.298, over 1.3 points better than her qualifying score and less than four-tenths behind the bronze medalist Aliya Mustafina. [42] This was a historical result as the highest place finish for a Canadian gymnast in the women's All-Around at the Olympic Games.
