Whether that meant Australia in general, or her coaching position, I am not sure.<br /><br />Particularly when Lauren won her world championship, she said she was singing the Australian national anthem with everyone else, and felt very Australian. Now that the US allows dual citizenship she said she felt it was the right time to also become an Australian citizen. <br /><br />Good luck to her. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575696150347887818.post-82074333087891120402012-01-26T09:02:34.168+11:002012-01-26T09:02:34.168+11:00After gymnasts ranked 9-12 is, according to Alar a...After gymnasts ranked 9-12 is, according to Alar at GGMB, "remaining places to be filled by the countries in order of Tokyo Team Final results, any gymnast, no more than 2 per country."
