Veteran Japanese-Canadian gymnasts Ken Ikeda and David Kikuchi will represent Canada for the second time in the Summer Olympics, The Associated Press reported on Thursday.
The 26-year-old Ikeda, who resides in Abbotsford, British Columbia, was named the first of Canada's two alternates for the Beijing Games. He has been a member of the Canada's senior national artistic gymnastics team since 2000.
Kikuchi, a 28-year-old from Halifax, Nova Scotia, joined the national squad in 1999.
