You Only Liv Twice

There are athletes and there are fighters.

 A ginormous congratulations to Olivia Vivian, who has become the second Australian gymnast this year to score a maiden World Cup medal overseas.

Liv overcame a hand injury sustained during her guest performance at the recent Victorian state championships to snaffle a medal on uneven bars. I can't seem to find results or reports anywhere but her instagram update breaking the news makes it look like 3rd (bronze)? Either way, a podium finish is a tremendous effort from the girl who never gives up.

Read her thoughts on the ups and downs of the event here.

Update Monday evening: We have results!

Vivian 3rd on bars, Mitchell 4th and Vivian 5th on floor.

I don't think the girls will be happy with those results at all.

Hello, Can anybody answer a National 2014 question about WAG SENIOR INT, trying to work out which days to watch. Do all gymnast compete day 2 AA even if they are not doing all 4 app? Which days are they selected to app finals just from Day 1 or 2 days added together and how many gymnasts? Last year they had a really good mobile APP that was giving live results on all levels and heaps of information, this year are they only live streaming 3 premium sessions so nothing on all other levels? Thanks in advance for any help
