GAMES:Comeback queen Godwin leads Australia's Glasgow charge

Georgia Godwin is back to hunt more Commonwealth Games glory, headlining the Australian artistic gymnastics team to compete in Glasgow.

The 28-year-old, who won two gold in Birmingham among a haul of five medals, will continue her return to the international stage after a ruptured Achilles wrecked her selection chances for the Paris Olympics.

The reigning Commonwealth all-around and vault champion, Godwin will spearhead a 10-strong team of five women and five men.

Glasgow will be eight-time medallist Godwin's third Games appearance, with 25-year-old Emily Whitehead also selected for the third time after both made their debut in the Gold Coast edition.

With four Commonwealth medals in her keeping, Whitehead took time off after the Paris Olympics, but showed she was back to her best with her recent all-around triumph at the Oceania Championships in Brisbane.
