Kerrie Taurima

Kerrie Taurima (born Kerrie Perkins on 2 April 1979) is an Australian long jumper. She had a promising career as a junior athlete, and trained at the Australian Institute of Sport, but went on a two-year hiatus in 2000 after failing to progress up the senior ranks. She made a successful return, and won the national long jump title in 2004 and 2005.[1] However, after winning the title in 2005 she was unable to attend the World Championships in that year due to injury. The following year she won a silver medal in the long jump at the 2006 Commonwealth Games, coming in second place to compatriot Bronwyn Thompson. Kerrie Taurima was married to the former Australian long jumper Jai Taurima.,

gollark: My very old and bad storage system used to have an autocrafting system, but it was very primitive and could only handle simple cases where there's only one way to make each thing.
gollark: Well, this is interesting, at least the bits I vaguely understand.
