World Cup Hangover

The news is spreading about Lauren's gold medal and our other fantastic World Cup Final results. This article has quotes from Liz C, and just a *little* bit of chest-puffing-out about the WAIS.

I hope they all have a nice Christmas which, according to GA, will go thusly:

Prashanth will return home and then head to New Zealand to holiday with his family, Lauren is returning to WA to spend Christmas with her family and Phil will remain in Europe.

You can watch video of Lauren's routine here, on the right-hand side of screen. I am waiting to see YouTube clips surface, as apparently she and Cheng Fei shared 'a moment' off the podium.

Again, congratulations to all the medallists and their hard-working coaches. This has been a great year for international competition and I wish all gymnasts the best as they head into a new year and work towards an exciting World Championships.
