Massilia Mixed Bag
While the purple-powered Aussie trio ended up out of the team medals in 10th, the positive news out of Marseille is that Georgia Godwin is through in first place to the Masters Massilia beam final with 14.133! She was also our highest AA finisher in 16th. It seems like not all of the three competed vault or bars or floor as we finished a trailing 10th on each of these, but the girls ranked an impressive 2nd overall on beam (Godwin 1st, Nedov 11th).
The event Facebook page to get scores and photos is here, videos from sessions are going up here and here. Piibunina's account currently has GG's floor and Rianna's floor up and I'm sure more will appear over the next 24 hours.

Whatever Happened To...
... Waverley's Ulln (Yuleen) Sternberg?
Great news! The steady Ms Sternberg has followed the path of several Aussies and pursued collegiate gymnastics in the USA, recently joining the ranks at University of California for the 2014-2015 season.
Yuleen, who has also trained in Japan, had been spending quite some time in California, balancing schooling with gymnastics training at Head Over Heels Gymnastics. Her bars skills and vault confidence flourished at the centre, and she put herself up for recruiting. She will now proudly join the ranks of the 'Cal' Bears as an all-arounder, and says head coach Justin Howell:

"On the uneven bars, Yuleen has an amazing variety of skills from us to choose from and we’re really looking forward to being able to make some unique skill choices. She also has a very elegant line... Yuleen also brings experience with international competition, so she knows what it’s like to compete and focus on difficulty level and execution. It will really help her bring a polished look to her collegiate performances."

You've Got Mail
Right on, Nick from Malvern East!
You tell 'em!
Oh, and marketing team that thought up the "nude bodypainted models" at the Women In Sport Awards? - You got your gymnastics mixed up and your integrity completely inside out. Big fail.
"The training and effort that goes into these performances puts other sports to shame...When will our media support sports besides the mainstream ones?"

2014 Worlds: Women's Floor Final
Poised and precise in purple, Waverley Gymnastics' own Larrissa Miller showed she belonged in the world's top ranks with a 6th place finish in the floor final today. Showing no sign of bother from the team final slip-up, Larrissa stood up every tumble and emphasised her elegant lines for a final impressive score of 14.233. Onya Riss!

2014 Worlds: AA Final Wrap-Up
Last night had everything from a parade of pink to a bee in the bouquet!
Georgia Rose Brown was elegant as always in the "lucky" purple prelims leo, but our only look at her in the livestream was on floor, a routine that seemed a little watered down (front lay full in place of the double arabian pass) but the closing double tuck was great. A world away from the freakishly unsinkable Americans, sure, but mentally tough enough to tackle four exhausting pieces with all her teammates in the stands, Georgia finished 21st overall.
Her scores are here, the best coming on vault.
I've been holding out the vain hope someone gets withdrawn and we'll see Larrissa today in the uneven bars final, but now that comp is about to kick off for the day it's looking highly unlikely.
Tune in tomorrow (Sunday) from 4:00pm AEDST for Larrissa Miller in the women's floor final. And who knows, maybe we'll have a miracle and Emma Nedov budges into beam final too!
