×Aussie Olympic Selection Squad Announced


Gymnastics Australia has announced the group of women who will move forward from the Australian National Championships to the Olympic Selection Camp this month.

Nikki Chung has had to withdraw due to ankle and knee injury, sadly. Also withdrawn is Zoe Lorenzin, who has apparently pulled out due to a stress fracture in her foot. I sincerely wish these girls a good recovery. They are both incredibly talented and will be a vital part of team Australia next year, good health permitting. The same goes for the girls who missed out this year, gymnasts like Katie Wurth and Amaya King Koi and others have a lot to offer to our team, but the timing is not right. Do not give up girls. The Olympics is an incredible thing, but it is not the only thing.

From Gymnastics Australia;

Following the first Olympic qualification trial held at the 2012 Australian Gymnastic Championships, Gymnastics Australia is pleased to announce a finalist squad of 12 selected to attend a pre-Olympic training camp and second round Olympic nomination competition at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra from 11 to 17 June.
