The Calgary Herald's recent behind-the-scenes look at Cirque du Soleil features Sydney Olympian Lisa Skinner.

"I think I had an opinion of the circus as many other people do," says the 29-year-old with a laugh, relaxing after a training session that found her suspended eight metres above the ground on a spinning metal hoop. "It was animals and carnies and things like that. It was never part of my life plan.

Lauren Mitchell features in this Commonwealth Games preview article, appearing in a nifty pic alongside Emily Little and Janine Murray.

Ashleigh's Journey has been updated on VWHPC page. She's described the team's first day of training in Canberra.

Why does the Perth Now article say that Beth Tweddle will be competing in Delhi?
Did they just assume that because she is British she will be going?
Yes definitely keen to hear any news from camp. Info on Lauren and Larrissa would be great.

I would guess they have just assumed Beth Tweddle is going seeing as she is still competing. Until the games begin I think most articles we see will just assume that the best teams from other countries will be there until they start doing a bit more research as to who the actual competitors are.

Tweddle was named in the British team for worlds and not the English team for Comms- she will NOT be competing

Australian gymnasts followers are well aware the England and Canda are sending their B teams thus Tweddle will not be going, it is the article that was wrong. They should do there research. Anon 2:45 and 7:17 are not suggesting that Tweddle is going to Delhi, they are just discussing the article saying that she is which is clearly inaccurate.
