Aussie gymnasts hit by stomach bug

Aussie gymnasts hit by stomach bug
Team Australia's gymnastics team are hit by a stomach bug in the run-up to the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast.

Team Australia's female gymnastics team have been struck down with a stomach bug in the build-up to the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast.

Georgia Godwin, one of Australia's rising stars in gymnastics and considered to be a serious medal contender, was among those affected by the illness at a training camp in Canberra last week.

Together with teammate Rianna Millen, Godwin found herself on the sideline and unable to train for a couple of days before they made the trip across to the Gold Coast.

"Rianna did get very unwell and a couple of days after I was struck down with something pretty similar so I was out of training for a couple of days," Godwin told AAP. "But I'm back and I'm feeling good. Just a little bit tired still but back to normal.

"Definitely extra fluids and just watching what I eat because some things didn't really agree with my stomach and they still don't."

The women's artistic gymnastics competition gets underway on Friday.
