Bumps (and Breaks and Bruises) in the Road

Peggy Liddick has spoken to International Gymnast magazine about the status of Australia's top contenders for Tokyo.

Just as a preemptive strike: Please don't take the people she DIDN'T mention as an absolute indication they are out of the running for the rest of the year.

It was great to hear that MAM is going strong, its a shame about Angela and Gerorgia Simpson, I would love to see these two in the Team. We need some new faces with some artistic flair. Injuries, what a pain! (pardon the pun)They have had more than thier fair share thats for sure.Hopefully they can get a good run like MAM and get back on the floor soon.I do like Lauren's new floor, very vibrant!Wonder who will be at camp next week.

If you don't get selected to go to camp do you still have a chance of making the team or is camp the last chance for un unannounced girls to get selected???

Well, Worlds aren't until October, so I doubt the team will be selected this early.

Most likely there will be another camp/selection trial a bit closer. Injured girls might have to control test to get to it, but it would be counter-productive not to allow a petition for an athlete who could help us qualify. Their case would have to be pretty strong, though.

Looks like our subdivision will be competing from 1545-1715. Not a bad time!

Girls are in camp this week. They're having a camp now and a trial closer to worlds. Shopuld be very interesting. Maybe they will hand out the additional GA/Olympic Squad places here too?

Can anyone tell me why the national squads are missing from GA web page? There are only two girls listed under the Athlete Information.

I think that they have just dropped off the end of the latest news page and haven't been archived yet. They only have two profiles because they put them up as the gymnasts send in their forms and photos. these two girls probably got theirs in the quickest.
