Australian teams qualify for Beijing

Australian athletes have had an outstanding month with equestrian and softball qualifying the first teams for Beijing. The women's water polo team won the World Cup, our rowers were awesome, swimmer Jess Schipper broke a world record and triathlete Emma Snowsill won a third world title.

The second edition of Beijing Bound also gives you the latest from rower James Tomkins, we reveal stomach bugs at the sailing test event, and introduce you to the new star of eventing.

Enjoy, spread the word and encourage Olympic fanatics to register!
