Col and I met Chantelle Newbury (the first Olympic Gold medallist for Australia in diving since 1912) on our flight back from Hobart to Tasmania. We chatted for the throughout the whole 2 hour flight and drank all the little champagne bottles that the plane had on board. Neddless to say... we got very drunk & entertained the whole plane! Hmmm... annoyed the whole plane more like it! Chantelle truly fascinated us with her Olympic stories & bubbly personality. No question we asked her bothered her and we definitively drilled her with questions. After giving birth to 2 kids, she is now back on the diving board in Beijing to jump for gold!! Go Aussie go!
Chantelle told us that she is going to attempt a secret jump that no female has yet ever attempted. Damm I forgot the name of the jump but it will be making the headlines... so make sure to watch it!!!And here the proof... and check the magazine I am holding... he he!
Best of friends... what less would you expect from us after a 2 hour chat ;o)
