Every member of the team has put in their best effort and all should be proud of their results. For most members of the team, this was the most difficult and overwhelming course they had ever competed on. All team members overcome their pre-race nerves and performed exceptionally well at an international level. The Australian team spirit is what has been the stand out on day one of racing with all members of the team demonstrating leadership, resilience and sportsmanship. The teams genuine care and concern for each other has been inspiring to observe. The calm and reassuring approach of the coaches and the support of the parents has made day one of the program a positive and enjoyable experience for all. Well Done everyone!
