What a send-off for 2007. Off the back of the Sports Tonight AIS gymnasts-in-training profile piece featuring Commonwealth Games gold medallists Hollie Dykes, Josh Jefferis and Philippe Rizzo, two-time national champion and Olympic hopeful Daria 'Dasha' Joura garnered some attention over the airwaves and in print!

Dasha was interviewed on 3AW Melbourne radio's Sports Today progam on Sunday 30/12 where she talked briefly about life as a gymnast. She impressed the hosts with her effervescent nature and positive outlook, and was patient enough to detail the kinds of preparations she is making for the Beijing Olympics without bogging the hosts down with jargon (the peril any gym expert faces). Dasha even took time to pepper the discussion with anecdotes about her childhood, 'growing up in the gym'. On the same day, she featured in articles from The Age [see link] and the Sydney Morning Herald newspapers. Good on you, Dasha. Here's hoping more attention comes your way on the road to Beijing!
