Fancy That!

Remember a while ago how I saw a slight resemblance between "Awmygawd didja see me, didja see how pumped I was!!!???" Olympic silver medal-winning hurdler Sally McLennan and Olympic uneven bars expert Olivia Vivian?

Turns out there's more of a resemblance than we thought:

McLellan used to be a gymnast!

When McLellan was four, her mother got her involved in gymnastics. "I was doing flips on the monkey bars at school and in the park. So mum thought that was a pretty good sport for me to start off in."

At eleven, McLellan turned to athletics, and putting her gymnastics training to good use, found herself at home over the hurdles.


Aw... no wonder she was so bouncy and dancey once she crossed the line!
