National Coach Gains Australian Citizenship


Peggy with Julia Gillard at Australian Citizenship ceremony
Friday, 27 January 2012

Peggy Liddick yesterday became an Australian Citizen...

At the Australian Citizenship Ceremony in Canberra yesterday, Women's National Coach Peggy Liddick gained her Australian Citizenship. Peggy received her Citizenship certificate from Prime Minister Julia Gillard. Members of the national squad and their coaches were Peggy's guests at the ceremony to provide support and to share in the excitement of the day. Prime Minister Gillard commented that  Peggy had bought her own cheer squad to the ceremony.

The girls were excited to meet 2012 Australian of the Year Geoffrey Rush, Her Excellency Ms. Quentin Bryce, Governor-General of Australia and the Chairman of the National Australia Day Council, Adam Gilchrist. Peggy was interviewed on stage and asked "as coach of the Australian Gymnastics Team how will it feel this time when you sing the national anthem being an Australian" to which she responded " That will be fantastic. This will be my fourth year leading the team into the Olympic Games and I thought what more fitting in an Olympic year and on Australia Day to make it official."

Gymnastics Australia congratulates Peggy on her Australian Citizenship.
