Thoughts in particular go out to Holly Moon, whose Commonwealth Games progress was updated thusly at Facebook:
"Holly's preparation for Delhi has been affected, it is difficult to get sleep with tremors coming through frequently. CSG [Christchurch School of Gymnastics] is also closed at least for another 24 hours"

Speaking of issues, click through to read a new article about the recent WAG Commonwealth Games team lineup change. Includes statements from Peggy Liddick.
Liddick was adamant Monckton's future remained bright despite the prospect of another six-month lay-off. "She certainly won't give up - a lot of people would walk away," said the long-time national coach.
"She was actually consoling me when she called to tell me. She's a very brave girl."
Awww you're an absolute champ little Mez, and don't let anyone tell you different!

Is this just for Indian medallists or everyone? I must admit I am somewhat confused by the post. I didn't prize money was given for Commonwealth Games medal winners unless a country decides to give its medallists prize money.
ReplyDeleteGood on Mary-Anne for having such a great attitude, I hope you come back in 2011 and really show people what you are capable of.
