On Saturday she was fooling around. On Sunday she was much more focused on the job at hand. She deserved to win on Sunday. On Saturday she didn't and I'm pretty sure she knew it. <br /><br />I hear you on Chloe's presence. She has tons of it and is interesting to watch just for that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575696150347887818.post-68531201812404678562009-06-01T20:22:21.417+10:002009-06-01T20:22:21.417+10:00I was present at the regionals trials on Sunday an...I was present at the regionals trials on Sunday and Chloe was enjoyable to watch. She caught her jeager with ease and her double tuck dismount was stuck easily. She had a presence at the competition that could not be matched by any other gymnast, not even the international girls. Nearly everyone was watching her every move it is understandable that she had a little attitude.<br /><br />It must be hard to go from International standard training to competing at this levels. A lot of the elite world consider the national levels almost as a joke. It would be hard to take it seriously, when the skills that you are used to seeing 11 and 12 year olds perform get a standing ovation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575696150347887818.post-61530644827486942672009-06-01T18:26:55.176+10:002009-06-01T18:26:55.176+10:00Georgia has only just returned to full training si...Georgia has only just returned to full training since her ankles surgery.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575696150347887818.post-35992971261239808902009-06-01T18:09:31.809+10:002009-06-01T18:09:31.809+10:00Georgia must not be fully fit yet for her not to b...Georgia must not be fully fit yet for her not to be on the team you would think.

I loved that she was the only Aussie gymnast brave enough to sport a funky punk hair do instead of Peggy's mandatory high pony tail. I loved that she came back and won the Commonwealth AA after being written off by many people, including some coaches. I loved that she behaved like a real teenager instead of an obedient elite gymnast (no disrespect to the cooperative gymnasts). I loved that she had raw undisciplined talent. I loved that she used to post on the old Aussie message board using her real name.<br /><br />There's something about Chloe that makes me smile and helps me enjoy this wonderful sport just that little bit more.<br /><br />I love her! Come back Chloe. We like your personality, spunk, sass, guts and entertainment. Pffftthhllllllbbbttthhh to the people booing on you. I hope they wake up one day and smell reality. All the best teams have a rebellious element.
