Mark Williams [club]

He began the sport at age five at East York Gymnastics Club in Toronto, ON, Canada.

"It was my parents decision because I was very small. In fact, when I was at the Toronto Owen Public School, a teacher told my father that I was very active, flexible and strong during the play and advised me to do artistic gymnastics. My father then searched and found that the best club in the area was East York Gymnastics. Families start gymnastics with their children usually up to three hours per week, but I began with six hours per week. Two months later, the head coach called my father and told him that he wanted me to join his group in the contestant category. Then I just fell in love with gymnastics."

"Gymnastics is a sport learned by seeing, it is useful to work with other athletes to improve." (turkishcanada.org, 16 May 2015)
