You look lovely today, by the way.
No no, keep the hat. It suits you.
Just wondering if anyone out there has .wmv files of recent competition footage featuring our Senior MAGs? Specifically, the guys heading to Delhi/Rotterdam? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
If you have any available video nuggets, or know where I can access some, please drop me a line at ozgymblog@gmail.com
Looooove yoooooou.

Not A Duke? No, I'm a Writer
Who left this trumpet here for me to blow? Come now. Honestly. That's not necessary.

If you insist.

Shaken and Stirred
Very best wishes to all our gymnastics friends and families down in Christchurch, New Zealand. Hope all are managing to cope in the less-than-ideal circumstances.
Thoughts in particular go out to Holly Moon, whose Commonwealth Games progress was updated thusly at Facebook:

Thoughts in particular go out to Holly Moon, whose Commonwealth Games progress was updated thusly at Facebook:
"Holly's preparation for Delhi has been affected, it is difficult to get sleep with tremors coming through frequently. CSG [Christchurch School of Gymnastics] is also closed at least for another 24 hours"

Liddick was adamant Monckton's future remained bright despite the prospect of another six-month lay-off. "She certainly won't give up - a lot of people would walk away," said the long-time national coach.
"She was actually consoling me when she called to tell me. She's a very brave girl."

Ashpiration
Great article on Victorian Ashleigh Brennan in today's Age newspaper, featuring a lovely shot from her recent photoshoot.
"I guess I'm nearly 20, and it's a very demanding sport, and challenging and that's why I think everyone loves it. But as long as you've still got that passion for it and your body can tolerate it, you can keep going, I guess.''

Gold Is So Hot Right Now
Calling all Melbournians!
Tomorrow, September the 3rd, head to Melbourne City Square (cnr Swanston and Collins St) at 10:30 to see Georgia Bonora among a handful of Aussie athletes unveiling our official Commonwealth Games team uniform. It coincides with Spring Fashion Week, so... expect lots of strutting and pouting under those patriotic blazers.
A press release is available here.

*******************************************
Georgia looked faaaaaaabulous in a yellow tee and grey shorts, and even showed off a handstand-walk down the runway (while being asked what she thought of the uniform!). Channel 10 News showed a brief grab of her thoughts on Delhi's security and readiness.

CWG: Monckton Out, Wheeler In
News out of Canberra is that Mary-Anne Monckton is injured, and has withdrawn from the Commonwealth Games team. Reserve position gymnast Georgia Wheeler will replace her.
Gymnastics Australia has the full details here.
MLC Gymnastics has issued a statement here, including an update on Georgia's skills.
Gymnastics Australia has the full details here.
The 15-year-old landed on an edge of a tumbling strip, forcing a short landing which resulted in a rupture of the ligament between the tibia and fibula (Tibiofibular Syndesmosis).
MLC Gymnastics has issued a statement here, including an update on Georgia's skills.
"... On vault, Georgia has made some good improvements with her double twisting Yurchenko, but this is certainly not ready for competition this year. This type of skill will take a long while to consolidate for competition readiness, and we are certainly not taking any risks at this stage in Georgia's development, but her sound improvement in the basics of this vault will certainly allow her a good platform for 2011."Very best wishes to Mary-Anne and to Georgia in these new circumstances.
