This was NOT how I pictured it.
Poor poor Dash. An ankle injury has felled her chances of competing in the Team Final.
Last night on Channel 7 we only saw her vault but we know of her disasterous other performances (save for bars). What a brave young lady to keep going despite the pain.
If you feel like depressing yourself this morning, read here and here.
In the broadcast last night, they showed Lauren's floor, Dasha/Lauren/Georgia's vaults (I think? Can't remember!), Olivia and Shona's bars and Lauren/Shona's beam. Shona looked ACE but I gasped big time at Lauren's falls because I didn't know when to expect them.
Um... they also showed one of The Wiggles(!) addressing a good luck message to the girls. For some reason.
I really hope the girls pull through for a better team final performance (think France at Euro's this year when Isabelle was out with injury) and I hope something miraculous happens in time for Dasha.
Georgia and Shona are still through to AA finals, so there's some hope!

who is that kissing Dash on the cheek - at first glance it looks like Shona, but then icloser it looks Lauren - who is it?
It is Lauren. Dasha got the biggest hugs from her WA teammmates and from Martine.
Interestingly, Dasha's tearful breakdown but her guts to continue in the competition (highlighted in commentary snippets by Liz)were just shown in an ad break as an 'Olympic Moment'.
