Denelle Celeste Pedrick (born February 26, 1999) is a Canadian artistic gymnast. She represented Canada at the 2022 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, contributing to the team's historic bronze medal finish. A collegiate gymnast at Central Michigan University from 2017 to 2020, she is a two-time Summer Universiade participant (2017, 2019) and won a silver medal in the team competition at the 2017 edition.

Gymnastics career

Pedrick began gymnastics at age two. She was an Elite Canada qualifier from 2010-2016, and a Canadian nationals qualifier from 2011-2016.

She became a collegiate gymnast at Central Michigan University in 2017. In 2019 and 2020, she was named Mid-American Conference Gymnast of the Year. In 2020, she ranked first in the Mid-American Conference and 18th nationally with an all-around score of 39.355.

Pedrick won the level 10 all-around at the Canadian Nationals in May 2017, leading to an invitation to a Team Canada tryout. She was selected to compete at the 2017 Summer Universiade in Taipei City, where she won team silver - Canada's first ever team gymnastics medal at the competition. She placed 11th on beam and 15th on floor exercise, but did not vault due to an ankle injury. Her teammates were Jessica Dowling, Briannah Tsang, and Olympians Ellie Black and Brittany Rodgers.

At the 2019 Summer Universiade in Naples, Pedrick finished seventh all-around, which was the highest finish for any North American. The Canadian team - Pedrick, Jessica Dowling, and Alana Fischer - finished fourth.

After her collegiate career, Pedrick felt she "had some unfinished business in the sport," and decided to make a comeback to the elite level with the goal of joining Canada's national team.

At the 2022 Canadian Championships, Pedrick was first on vault and second all-around and on floor. At DTB Pokal in Stuttgart, she won vault gold. At the 2022 World Championships in Liverpool, Pedrick contributed to the team's bronze medal finish - a first ever medal for Canada, which also qualified a Canadian team to the 2024 Summer Olympics.
