Laura Wilkinson is competing in springboard at the Tallahassee Regional Diving Championships and is attempting to qualify for Nationals. Laura hasn't competed or trained on springboard since she broke her foot in spring 2000, but she was having fun playing around and decided to have fun with diving while she is still physically able.

Georgia Bonora won the senior all-around at the Australian National Championships. Mary-Anne Monckton finished second and Shona Morgan finished third. Emily Little and Lauren Mitchell did not compete due to injuries but are expected to be a part of the Australian team at the Commonwealth Games and World Championships.

  2. Sam looks heavy. And I'm not talking about wanting her to be a gay figure model slim or resenting a muscular physique. she has noticeable excess fat and is not in condition. not even close. If she really cares, she would be in shape. Maybe she has some injuries, but diet is something you can control in a wheelchair.
