Delhi Delight for Curran

by isleofman.com 18th August 2010

Olivia Curran is set to become the first female gymnast to represent the Isle of Man at the Commonwealth Games.

Her selection has just been confirmed after she was given more time to achieve the qualifying standard following the original team announcement in early July.

She managed to gain the required scores at two recent competitions and will now compete for the island in Delhi.

Olivia is delighted and knows she faces a massive challenge:-

Adam Hedges is another late addition to the Gymnastics squad, David Walton is the 11th shooter selected and Tom Black will replace Jonny Bellis in the cycling squad.

Bellis faces an operation to repair a hernia shortly and swimmer Grant Halsall is out of the Isle of Man team after breaking his arm in a cycling accident.
