This competition has become truly international as demonstrated during the final day by the participation of athletes from as far away as Estonia, Scotland, Israel, Japan and New Zealand, in addition to many from the United States and Canada. So the flags adorning the performance stage are not merely decorative but represent all nations that have been involved during the four days of competition. The Koop Cup offers a display of athletic prowess combined with beauty, grace and fashion. The founder of the Koop Cup, Evelyn Koop, was thoroughly delighted and had an opportunity to thank the competitors, the judges and the volunteers who have made the Koop Cup a highlight of the Rhythmic Gymnastic season in Canada.
