From choreographer Anastasia Umeh-Lees on Facebook:
Myself and Dasha Joura (2008 Olympian & WAIS program athlete) travelled to Sydney to represent Australian Gymnastics on Season 5 of Australia’s Next Top Model. It was quite a departure from my usual work with the Aussie National Team, but enjoyable just the same!
Dasha proved herself to be the eloquent, elegant athlete that we all know her to be, and showed why gymnasts are not only the toughest athletes on the planet, but also some of the most graceful and artistic. While the models-to-be did a great job keeping up considering their complete lack of gymnastics background, they were a little intimidated by Dasha’s professionalism and class!
Once again it goes to show why our sport is one of the most watched and enjoyed in the world. Our athletes make the very simple look spectacular, and the very challenging…like a walk in the park!
Take a look at the episode for yourself!!! (WARNING: One of the models has a bit of a foul mouth, and used a few naughty words…I apologize for this!)
