Rising Aussie Stars

Did you know...

Australia recently fielded gymnasts to the Maccabiah Games (the "Jewish Olympics") in Israel? Well then! Allow me to introduce...

Maia Avram and Stephanie Goldberg,


Morgan Baum (who you can read about here),


and Janey Nestadt!

Their Aussie team-mates included Noam Geffen, Vared Mazin and Elizabeth Zimmet.

The girls feature very, very briefly in some still photos in this montage. Seems like some lovely group displays were on show to entertain the crowd in addition to the excitement of the gymnastics competition.

Congratulations on representing Australia overseas, ladies. Hope to see more of you in the future!

  1. Thanks for the info Mez and congrats to the girls. Do we know how they went in the competition, and what their scores were? No doubt the Israeli national team and some strong Americans and Canadians were represented.

  2. No idea on scores, but I can tell you that they were unlucky in the medal stakes. The Maccabiah-Australia website had a listing of Australia's medallist at the event and gymnasts did not feature.

  6. For anyone wondering about the suspectcapitalised words in the 2:27 Anon comment, it's the GGMB forum's word filter (see: automatic word substitute) for the surname "Cohen", after Sacha Cohen the figure skater. Apologies for it not being picked up.
