MLC Gymnastics gives us some tidbits:
The team arrived in Delhi last night after a four hour stop over in Dubai and some shopping. It was 33 degrees and humid when they arrived. The team had to wait an additional 3 hours to wait for the Nigerian team so were late to the village.
The team is on its way to its first training session right now. They were in too late last night to do any training so did a short physical program and stretch in the apartment lounge. The transport is not up and running yet - so they are taking cars to training today.
There is a lovely picture of Ashleigh Brennan in today's Herald Sun, though no mention of her in the article that accompanies it. Thanks to the VWHPC for the scan:
MAG hopeful Luke Wiwatowski is profiled here.
"I?m a bit nervous of the competition, it?s my first big multi-sports competition," Wiwatowski said. He said athletes would have to get used to a lot of media reporting on gymnastics at the Games. "Gymastics is not a big sport in Australia,?? he said. Of the negative reports about security and hygiene at the games, Wiwatowski said: "I have not heard anything that would stop me from going."
GA has put up a photo and video montage from Worlds camp! Clap your hands say yeah!
The VWHPC Facebook page has also put up some new pictures of the team trying on their official uniforms and checking out the Games Village (complete with huge mosquito nets in their rooms).
