29-11-2006 4:48pm#1Every year, Women in Sport produces a calendar. This year, they held a competition for those who wanted to be in it:
From the Women in Sport website:Inspirational Moments, Photo Competition
How would you like your photo and written article featured in next year’s 2007 Women in Sport Calendar?
We are inviting you to submit a “Women in Sport” photograph that inspires you and an explanation of your reasons why, in less than 150 words. We will be selecting and featuring the 12 most inspiring photos and article to feature in next year’s calendar.
It could be a photo from the www.womeninsport.ie website or one that you have taken yourself of a particular activity. The closing date for entries is 31st October 2006.
So naturally we entered.
We got this today:I would like to congratulate you as the photo and written piece you sent in to the Women in Sport Calendar Competition was selected to appear in the 2007 Women in Sport Calendar, which will be printed in the coming weeks.
So yay us! Here's the winning photo. Not too bad I think.
Title: Sisters doing it for themselves...
Description: Paula and Susan Cunningham shooting during the British Air Rifle Championships in 2006. Susan is the current Irish National Champion in Olympic Air Rifle and Paula is chomping at her heels, with Paula holding the Bronze medal from the National Championships.
Why it's inspiring: The Cunninghams are not just good junior shooters or just good lady shooters; they are the best shooters in Ireland, without qualification. Susan is both the Senior and the Junior Irish National Champion in Olympic Air Rifle. The girls are an inspiration to the entire sport, senior and junior alike, and their success has prompted widespread fundamental change in how the sport is organised in this country. Their dedication to training has set new standards for the sport in Ireland. Their prowess in the sport is without precedent, and they have gone further than any Irish shooter before them. In 2006 they represented Ireland in the World Championships, while Susan was studying to take ten honours in her Junior Cert. They are currently our best hopes for the Olympic Games in both Bejing in 2008 and London in 2012, and represent the very best our sport has to offer.
I know, it's a duplicate of this post from the Women in Sport thread, but few people seem to be reading that, and this deserves a little notice.0
