Western Australian gymnast Daria Joura will enter today's final Olympic Games trials in Canberra hopeful her flair will earn a seat on the plane bound for Beijing.
Joura is one of nine women gymnasts competing for six places in the Australian artistic team.
These gymnasts know the long and arduous days training for the Games will decide how they perform this weekend.
Joura, 18, said she would feel disappointed if she missed selection, but acknowledged the most important thing was for the best team to be selected.
''As a team we have been talking and whoever gets selected deserves the spot,'' Joura said.
''Everyone does what they need to do for the country.
''If you get selected it will be for a reason so you can only control what you do.''
Born in Siberia, Joura was introduced at a young age to the sport. Her parents were gymnastic coaches at the Western Australian Institute of Sport and her father coached her until she was 12 years old.
She will learn this weekend whether all those years of gruelling practice have paid off.
''It's kind of a weird thought but everything I have been training for is this weekend,'' she said.
But Joura said she had a little trick that might catch the eye of the judges.
''Some gymnasts go in with a straight face but I have a little bit of flair and try to connect with the judges and the crowd,'' she said.
For these nine gymnasts this may be their only chance to go to an Olympic Games.
''It's a bit rare for people to go through two cycles because gymnasts are really young.''
''Sixteen is when we're allowed to go and I'm 18 so I feel old.''
Joura, a powerful all-rounder, said while the odds were good for selection she was not getting ahead of herself.
''There are nine competing for six places and two reserves so the chances are fairly good,'' she said. ''But you just can't get complacent, you can't lose focus.''
The Australian gymnastics team will face tough opposition from China and the United States.
Joura said while winning gold was a dream, beating the two gymnastic superpowers remained a near-impossible task.
''America and China are amazing and I think they will be fighting for gold and silver,'' she said.
''But bronze is really open.
''It's important to have realistic expectations but you've just got to prepare the best you can.''
Joura said she wouldn't be intimidated by the high standard at the Olympics.
''You always hear about these amazing scores overseas, but the nature of the sport is that there are many biased judges because gymnastics is opinion based,'' she said.
''So it will be interesting to see everyone under one roof and competing because it will be really interesting to see what happens.''
Australian coach Peggy Liddick heads the selectors who will be choosing the final team of six plus two reserves to be announced on Monday morning.
