Once again this year’s Australian Gymnastics Championships will be held at Hisense Arena – in the heart of Melbourne’s world-class sporting precinct. As well as the crowning of our 2016 National Champions across five Gymsports, with the Rio Olympic Games on the horizon we can’t wait to see who will reign supreme and be awarded the coveted individual positions in the Games of the XXXI Olympiad. In the Women’s Artistic Gymnastics competition we eagerly await Lauren Mitchell’s return to the competition arena, in her bid to make her third Olympic team following an extensive rehabilitation program after rupturing her ACL in 2015. Her and fellow apparatus specialist, Larrissa Miller, are sure to make their presence felt at Hisense Arena, in their quest for a chance at Olympic representation. However NSW’s Emma Nedov is also sure to be in contention for the position, as a strong All-Around competitor with a world-class Beam routine, along with 2012 Olympic reserve, Georgia-Rose Brown, and 2014 and 2015 National Champion, Georgia Godwin, who is also returning from injury.. 2012 Olympian Emily Little is sure to make her claim for a spot on her second Olympic team, particularly after medaling on Vault at the Rio Test Event in April, and we also eagerly await to see what up-and-coming Senior International athletes such as Rianna Mizzen, Emily Whitehead, Kiara Munteanu and Alex Eade bring to the competition. The individual spot up for grabs in the Men’s Individual Trampoline event in Rio is also sure to be hotly contested. 2012 Olympian Blake Gaudry will definitely be in the mix with selectors, along with NSW brothers, Ty and Shaun Swadling. Tasmania’s Jack Penny has been one of Australia’s most consistent competitors overseas in the past 12 months, and with World Championship Bronze Medallist in the Double-Mini Trampoline discipline, Matthew Weal, and youngster Dominic Clark also in contention, the Olympic dream is anyone’s for the taking. Queensland’s Danielle Prince has all but booked her ticket to Rio, having been named in a quota position by the FIG as Oceania’s sole representative in Rhythmic Gymnastics at this year’s Olympic Games. After strong performances at last year’s World Championships in Stuttgart, Germany, she will be looking to perform some strong routines in Melbourne in order to confirm her selection by the Australian Olympic Committee to the team for Rio. Age-eligible athletes for the 2018 Commonwealth Games cycle will also be looking to impress, as they begin staking their claim for a spot on the team for the Gold Coast Games in April 2018. Michael Mercieca from Queensland will also be one to watch in the Men’s Artistic Gymnastics competition. Mercieca, who trains at our National Centre of Excellence in Canberra, is currently Australia’s top-ranked male gymnast, and a strong All-Around performance at last month’s Rio Test Event has earned him a named position as an individual reserve for the Games of the XXXI Olympiad. Fellow NCE athlete Chris Remkes will also be one to watch out for in the apparatus finals, after Remkes won Australia’s first World Cup medal since 2011 earlier this year, with a silver medal-winning performance on Vault at the Doha World Cup Challenge in Qatar. The scene is well and truly set for a thrilling Australian Gymnastics Championships! Although Rio will be at the forefront of everyones’ minds, we also can’t wait to enjoy the spectacle of Tumbling, Double-Mini Trampoline and Acrobatic Gymnastics which will be on display across the 33 sessions of competition. High Performance gymnastics is not only amazing to watch, but it also involves an amazing number of people, facilities and resources to make it all possible. Gymnastics Australia would like to acknowledge and thank our High Performance partners who support our sport and our athletes; the Australian Institute of Sport, Australian Sports Commission, Western Australian Institute of Sport, Victorian Institute of Sport, Queensland Academy of Sport, New South Wales Institute of Sport, and the South Australian Institute of Sport. Our sincere thanks also goes to the Victorian Government and the Melbourne Olympic park Trust, without whom we would not be able to stage this fantastic event.

    Evgenia Kanaeva-Radio Interview-03-Nov-2010 English translated by Tatiana Translation edited by catts Zhenya Kanaeva Gymnasium http://zhenyakanaevagymnasium.wordpress.com/ 00:36-00:49 So what I want to say … we often talk about those who keep fighting but never win. But there are athletes who never lose by definition, but it is rather rare. 00:49-01:16 On Monday, the news did not mentioned that the rhythmic gymnasts had finished their season, and that Evgenia Kanaeva – the Olympic Champion and many times World Champion – once again won 5 gold medals out of 5 possible at the last stage of competition in Berlin Masters. She simply does not have a bad habit of winning less. 01:16-01:38 The news also did not mention that she, together with Daria Kondakova and Daria Dmitrieva, are at the top of all possible rank lists of the year, standing at the top of AA and finals rank. 01:38-01:56 Neither was noticed is that one very smart and refined Italian who knows and understands a lot about RG and art once called Evgenia’s performance “cosmic”. Moreover, he compared her performance with the masterpieces of Michelangelo. 01:56-02:02 Bruno Grandi is that Italian. He is the President2011 of FIG. 02:02-02:22 Actually this comment was absolutely objective because, as President of FIG, he cannot judge gymnasts’ performances according to his emotions if it does not correspond to the objective reality. 02:22-02:42 This is why, as the season is finally over and it happens that Zhenya has one short day in Moscow, she agreed to comeZKG to this studio.

    AIS and Black Dog Partner to Improve Mental Fitness in Young Australians

    AIS and Black Dog partner to improve mental fitness in young Australians 27th July 2020 EMBARGOED UNTIL 10AM MONDAY 27TH JULY 2020 Australian Olympic, Paralympic and Commonwealth Games athletes are joining the fight to help reduce rates of mental health issues in young children as part of a new community partnership between the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) and Black Dog Institute. Designed to help young people manage their mental health and improve their general wellbeing, the Mental Fitness Program will see 27 current and former elite athletes assist in delivering mental wellbeing presentations, both in-person and online, at high schools throughout the country. Mental Fitness Program presenter and Commonwealth Games gold medal winning boxer Harry Garside said his personal experience with mental health education at school was a game-changer. “I wanted to get involved in the Mental Fitness Program because I know firsthand that these workshops can have a significant impact and change the course of a young person’s life,” said Mr Garside. “As an elite athlete, I want to role model behaviour that promotes self-care and positive psychology to help improve the wellbeing and resilience of young Australians.” In Australia, it is estimated that 1 in 5 people will experience symptoms of mental illness in any given year, and approximately 60% of those people won’t seek help. Over 75 per cent of mental health issues develop before the age of 25 which shows the importance of tackling the subject from an early age. Black Dog Institute Director and Chief Scientist Helen Christensen said the ability to bring sport and community together to teach meaningful life skills was needed now more than ever.
