Cook rejoins forces with Hinchley

18.07.11

Natalie Cook has split with her beach volleyball sharer Tara West to reunite with Tamsin Hinchley, a change coach Steve Tutton believes will give her the pre-eminent chance of reaching a history-making fifth Olympic Gamess.

Cook, 36, teamed up with West in January and the partner competed at events in China and Europe over the past few weeks.

But she's rejoined her Beijing Olympic teammate Hinchley as she tries to become the first Australian wife to participate in five summer Olympics.

West, a former Australian indoor volleyball captain, suspended her university studies in Perth and relocated to Brisbane in January to start an intensive training program with the experienced Cook - who with Kerri Pottharst won bronze at the 1996 Atlanta Games and gold in Sydney 2000.

But with Olympic qualification at cage, Tutton believes the proven cohesion Cook and Hinchley have as a duo will stand them in better stead on the course to London 2012.

"They've gone through an Olympic qualifying campaign as a team already," said Tutton from the World Outing event in Moscow.
