MORE SIBLINGS OFF TO ATHENS FOR AUSTRALIA

Brothers Stuart and Ashley Brehaut from Ballarat in Victoria will play Badminton for Australia at the Athens Olympics.
The pair are among six Badminton athletes selected by the Australian Olympic Committee today.
They join the three Stewart brothers in Rowing and the Saville sisters in Track & Field in the 2004 Australian Olympic Team.
Athens will be the Brehaut’s first Olympic Games.
“It is a tremendous thrill to be picked for the Olympics and very special to be going with your brother” Ashley Brehaut said today.
“We are both certainly excited and can’t wait to get over there” he said.

The Team is as follows:

Ashley Brehaut (VIC) - Men's Doubles
Stuart Brehaut (VIC) - Men's Singles
Travis Denney (WA) - Men's Doubles, Mixed Doubles

Jane Crabtree (VIC) - Women's Doubles
Lenny Permana (VIC) - Women's Singles
Kate Wilson Smith (WA) - Women's Doubles, Mixed Doubles.

There was a typo in the previous article as Kate Wilson Smith is from SA not WA.

I think it's part of the 'meet an athens olympian a day' strategy Seven has been employing.
