Olympic Update from Laura Wilkinson
Jul 9th, 2008 by admin
Nationals are my next stop in Pasadena, CA from July 22-27 (I compete 10 meter on the 25th and 27th). We head from nationals to San Jose, CA for Olympic Team processing.
Processing is basically where we get all of our information, head shots, team pictures, and outfitting (the best part!). We leave from San Jose for Beijing on July 30. The Opening Ceremonies are on 8-8-08 and my platform prelims are on Aug. 20th and my semis and finals are on the 21st.
One last fun tidbit, I made the August issue of Glamour magazine that’s available in stores now! I’m part of a neat section called The 11 Greatest Bodies on Earth and it shows 11 Olympic athletes in dresses doing our sports. It was a lot of fun to shoot as I had this cool green dress on and my hair and makeup was done and then I got to do flips on the trampoline in the dress! Every girl’s dream…
