Gymnastics: NZ team off to worlds

A five-strong New Zealand team leave today for the gymnastics world champs in Melbourne starting next week.

The team comprises Aucklander Mark Holyoake, North Harbour's Alice Barnett and three from Counties Manukau - Belinda Castles, Olivia Jobsis and Sarah Miller.

Georgia Cervin from North Harbour withdrew from the championships due to a broken toe sustained during a training camp. She was replaced by Barnett.
