Congratulations are in order to all the Olympic athletes, who've made Australia proud with their efforts in Paris. Athletes of the future are everywhere, and 10-year-old Tamryn Matheson has just claimed the impressive title of best overall at the 2024 Gymnastics New South Wales Country Championships and Winter Invitational in Armidale. She attained very high scores: 8.95, 8.7, 9.0 and 8.95 on the bar. There's a big future for Tamryn, who took home a silver medal for the floor and the bars, fourth place for the vault, fifth place for the beam and, of course, the best overall. I wish her all the very best.

I would also like to acknowledge and extend my congratulations to Harry Cook from Old Bar Public School and to Cooper K from Wingham Public School, who were both selected by the New South Wales state touch team to play in the national touch football championships, which will be held in October. What an extraordinary achievement for these two local boys. I thank Harry, Cooper, Tamryn and also the parents and grandparents of these young athletes for all the support they're giving. They will become our stars of the future and are having a great childhood, meeting lots of friends, getting away from the TV, and growing big and strong.
