It's upon us!
Gymnastics Australia have put up
a new page for ongoing updates and photos from national coach from Peggy Liddick.
Emily Little now tumbles a piked full-in!
"Emily and Georgia went through their programs normally without anything unusual.... Both girls conducted themselves like professionals and were ready for the podium."
The FIG have photos up on Facebook
here and will reportedly be doing a livestream of the competition through their Youtube channel
here.
*** Gymnastics Australia advises that Australian MAG competitor Sam Offord has had to withdraw due to an injury sustained during the friendly at Waveney. He will be replaced by Josh Jefferis.***As at 7:30am Wednesday, Georgia's bars and beam are up
here. Em and Georgia start on bars in session 2 tomorrow (late tonight our time)
You can follow the women's proceedings live
here at the Gymnastics Examiner or
here at The All Around. Unfortunately I can't stay up to follow proceedings but according to Blythe, the Aussies are in their green, gold and white national leo (hooray).
ETA Thursday...Australia has officially qualified one MAG spot to London; the selectors can choose between Josh OR Tom to compete at the Games.
The Gymnastics Examiner and All-Around links above should take you to quickhits of the women's session. By all accounts the Aussies did a great job, notably newbie Simpson.
Check out her STUNNING floor below, as well as Em's vault.

The Australian has a piece on Josh
here.
"It's a tough situation but everyone has been great about it, Sam's been a legend," Jefferis, who knows the heartache of Olympic disappointment, said.
