Entry the First: "G'day" etc etc etc.

Welcome to the Australian Gymnastics Blog, and what I hope will become a unique space dedicated to the efforts of those most admirable individuals - Australian gymnasts.

I'm Mez, from Melbourne, and consider myself one of many avid artistic gymnastics fans. I shall be your hostess on this madcap venture through the world of gymnastics, and welcome any input from experts and fans.


Inspired by the likes of The A-Z of Australian Gymnastics http://www.geocities.com/australiagym_az/ (love your work, ladies) this site will, over time, feature commentary and multimedia highlighting the career highs and lows of elite gymnasts competing for our country.

This is my first foray into blogging and, fittingly, I've launched this page on January 1, 2008. This year, Team Australia will again try its hand at Olympic gymnastics competition, in Beijing. Both MAG and WAG squads have experienced their share of difficulties and disappointments over the past season (to paraphrase Basil Fawlty - Don't. Mention. The Worlds!) as well as fantastic successes that bought them international media attention and a lot of expectation in the lead-up to the Games in August.

On behalf of fans here in Australia and around the world, I wish bucketloads of good fortune for our athletes this year and in the years to come.

The green light's on, let's hit the ground running!
