Wide World of Sports have a short piece on camp here, with Lauren Mitchell hinting there are some vault upgrades happening in the group.
Liddick has already stressed to her charges the importance of working together, even using a bit of Hollywood star power - via the movies that is - to help them along.
"Last camp we watched Moneyball with Brad Pitt and it was kind of like Peggy suggesting to us to see where our weakest links are and work and focus more on those things," Mitchell said of the flick.
Based on the book, it's about how a baseball side breaks down their sport scientifically in order to assemble their best possible winning team.
"One of our weakest apparatuses is vault and so everyone is kind of churning out these quite big vaults now," Mitchell said.
"It's only into the pit, but if we get them, we can compete them."
The VWHPC have updated on Ashleigh Brennan's journey towards the Olympics (including a luvverly new photo).
"Olympic Gymnast Ashleigh Brennan is limbering up for the London games with a busy few months. First stop for the 21 year Berwick student is an Australian team tour to Canada from March 9-11, followed by a World Cup appearance in Qatar at the end of the month. Then come the selection trials in Sydney."
So we can expect to see Ash in Doha in a little while!
There has also been a small Penrith Star feature on Katie Wurth which you can find here
Finally, a West Australian piece on Georgia Simpson, who we will see at the American Cup this weekend!

Here is the link to the Georgia Simpson article =) She is just gorgeous and so is that WAIS leotard.
See that Australia is starting on beam at PACRIM. They are in the 2nd session. Russia and Canada are in the 1st session. seems unusual that they would put Russia in the 1st session and not up against USA. Is this a bit rigged.
Just looked up the nominative registrations for Doha and Mary-Anne and Georgia Rose are listed too.
Got unnecessarily excited there, thought you wrote 'Dasha'! Be still my beating heart!

I believe in this case the draw is based on ranking at the previous event. iirc the Russians had injuries and did not field a full team at the last PacRim
Last Pac Rim clashed with or was very close to Euros and Russia always prefers to send their best team to Euros.
Upgrading vaults? Excellent news. :-) Let's hope that they can make the progress from the pits to sticking floor landings!
