GO GOMEZ

Five of Australia’s top badminton players have successfully qualified for the Beijing Olympics, with Australia represented in the men’s singles, men’s doubles and women’s doubles events. Despite tough competition from top players in Asia, who perpetually dominate the sport, the Australian team is excited to be representing their country and looking forward to the experience of competing against the best in the world. New South Wales will be represented by 25 year old Stuart Gomez in the men's singles.
