Elfi Schlegel

Schlegel was born in Toronto, Ontario, to parents Peter and Vlasta Schlegel, immigrants from Switzerland. Growing up in the Toronto suburb of Etobicoke, she started gymnastics at the age of 7. == International career ==

Schlegel established herself as one of the best gymnasts in Canadian history (at that point) when she won a gold medal in the all-around and team competitions in gymnastics at the 1978 Commonwealth Games in Edmonton, Alberta. At the 1979 Pan American Games in San Juan, Puerto Rico, she won a bronze medal in the individual all around, two silver medals for the uneven bars and vault, and a gold medal as a member of the first-place Canadian team. She also won a bronze medal in the vault at the 1980 World Cup in Toronto, the first-ever World Cup medal for a Canadian. == College career ==

After graduation from high school, Schlegel wanted to continue to compete, but Canadian universities did not offer intercollegiate gymnastics competition or athletic scholarships. As a Gator gymnast, she was a four-time individual Southeastern Conference (SEC) champion–all-around (1983), twice in the balance beam (1983, 1986), and vault (1984). == Broadcasting career ==

In 1984, Schlegel began her television career as a gymnastics commentator for CTV's Wide World of Sports. She covered the Gymnastics at the 1988 Summer Olympics for CBC. Schlegel was a gymnastics analyst on NBC's Olympic broadcasts from 1992 to 2012. She also covered the Breeders Cup and Olympic curling for the network. ==Personal==

Schlegel is married to Marc Dunn, a former Olympian who represented Canada in beach volleyball at the 1996 Summer Olympics. They have three children and live in Toronto. == See also ==
