It's said time heals all wounds. Hard work never hurts, either.

Brittany Rogers continues to rise among Canada's best and demonstrate her talents with an eye on the London Olympics.

The Coquitlam native secured second all-around while adding gold on uneven bars and silver on vault at last week's Elite Canada gymnastics meet.

Coupled with Robert Watson's emergence on the senior men's division - where the PoCo native carted off the first all-around award on Friday - and you have a fantastic weekend for local gymnasts.

A member of the national team who locked up Canada's spot at last month's Olympic qualifier, Rogers said each major competition is another step towards restaking her spot in the sport, after recovering from a broken ankle suffered two years ago.

"It was nice to know I've improved and continue to improve," the 18-year-old said. "Not falling on beam is really big for me. It's one of my scariest events, especially because I broke my ankle on that event [in 2010].

"It's a big step for me to get on the beam again."

In the all-around competition, she placed first in both vault and uneven bars, while notching the fifth-best score on beam (13.75) - less than one full point back of first.

In the event finals, she nailed the gold on bars and silver on vault, and a solid fifth-place showing on beam.

"It was a huge confidence boost for sure," said Rogers, who trains at North Vancouver's Flicka Gymnastics Club. "Any meet leading up to these [Olympics] is a huge stepping stone. I kind of quit gymnastics and didn't know if I was strong enough to get back into the sport because it's so tough - but it's so worth it."

Six gymnasts will be chosen in the months ahead for the Olympics team.

Watson, 18, dominated the opening day with a personal best score on floor and improved in every other event on Day 2.

"That was probably my best moment ever, the best score I had in my life," said Watson. For more on Watson's accomplishment, read Friday's NOW.

Rogers notes that while last year's group that cinched Canada's spot in London would love to go back together, each understands the challenge ahead.

"It's going to be stressful for sure. 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," she said. "Everybody is in the same boat, so we all know what to expect."

In other Elite Canada results, Omega Gymnastics' Shallon Olsen notched gold on floor and vault and was tied for second on uneven bars to wrap up a sparkling debut as a junior competitor.

The 11-year-old picked up the all-around title on the first day at the junior level, despite being novice-eligible.

Among her moves was a double twisting Yurchenko vault that had many in the stands applauding.

"I had to practice the vault and keep doing it until I got it right and then my coach said, 'Okay, it's time to do the skill in competition,'" said Olsen. She first performed the skill last year at the Canadian championships.

In other all-around junior results, TAG Sports Centre's Nicole Chow finished 19th overall, including tying for 11th on floor. Taylor Chan captured sixth in the vault.

In the novice competition, Omega's Seina Murase-Cho posted the top aggregate score on floor and third on beam to finish third all-around in the two-day competition.

Clubmate Angela Zhong placed eighth all-around after scoring the third-best result on vault. Samantha Haghighat-Joo's sixth-place showing on floor anchored her 16th all-around score, while Haley de Jong was 17th all-around. Coming in 19th place was Jordan de Jong.
