I never miss a post from The Couch Gymnast in Australia. It’s one of the best blogs.
Just released is an associated online magazine. From the editor:
… I was inspired to do this project by my readers and their comments. … I wanted to make a space where people who don’t have time to make their own blogs… could contribute to this ongoing discussion about our favorite sport. …
And who are these contributors?
Greg Marsden, Nicola Cairns, Amy Kleefisch, munchthesilivasfan, Nastiafan101, Sing Hon Lo, Nicole Langevin … and many more.
It’s a huge project! Here’s the table of contents:

Love it, lots of great reading – but I hate the green background – it does funny things to my eyes!
very interesting….particularly enjoyed “what would you like changed”
photo captions were fun too, espcially Ms. Hong’s!
I like the idea. I didn’t really like how it looked but that’s to be expected from a first time online magazine. I’ll be happy to contribute information about the Japanese team (and will start working on an article).
