    I don't even think her parents are Australian are they?

    my half bad she's lived in the uk since she was 14 but took citizenship in 2012 as you said. also hungarian parents, lived in the uk for 12 years qualifies her in my book, rugby and athletics have much shorter qualifying periods, also she's not holding back any uk born female talent

    Moved from Australia initially to Barcelona, trained there before moving to Britain.

    Colour me surprised but the same year she became British she received funding from LTA.

    The decision to become British was purely for financial reasons - it was every bit as farcical as Zola Budd getting a passport of convenience.
