The Road to Nationals: Western Australia

I hope those of you who ordered WAIS Fliers books get a nice package in the post this week, as I did today! It is an amazing (not to mention hefty!) book, chock full of fun, quirky, intimate, engaging photographs of WA gymnasts at work and play. And to top it all off, the inside was lovingly signed by the author as well as AGB's Super Ultimate Best Friend Liz Chetkovich.

Now, speaking of gymnastics folk out west, check out the following nuggets of news and information about the State Championships.

Don't forget to tune in to Channel 10 tomorrow morning at 7:30 AEST to catch Totally Wild at the Victorian Women's High Performance Centre!

The book was enjoyable to look at but for the price I didn't think it was very professionally done. A lot of the photos were a little out of focus or blown up too big showing the grain.
Also it is a shame they didn't leave any gutter allowance because that gorgeous pic of dasha in a split was spoiled. Also it is a fundamental of photography that you never ever stretch pictures so they are out of proportion like chungs sheep jump. Still a very nice idea and it will be nice look back on. Love the pic of Georgia simpson, anyone know how she is doing?

Goergia Simpson is still training.
Sadly she had a hamstring injury, just before Pac Rim trials I understand.Which was a shame as from a spectators view she looked lovely.
