Cory Paterson travelled to Belgium to compete at the 11th annual Coupe d’Avenir hosted by the Malmedy Gymnastics Club. It was Cory’s first time representing Canada at an international competition and his first time in Europe. Competing against a talented group of boys from the Belgian Age Group Teams, the Netherlands, Qatar and Malta and under demanding F.I.G. (International) rules, Cory won an all-around silver medal in Category II (1995-94).  The top ten scores from the both Category II and Category III (1993-89) qualified for event finals. Cory qualified for Floor, Rings and Parallel Bar final. Competing against Juniors and their much higher Start Values, Cory performed very clean routines to win Bronze medals on both Floor and Parallel Bars.
