Torah opts out

A DISAPPOINTED Torah Bright will watch from afar as Australia undertakes its most promising Winter Olympics campaign at the PyeongChang Games.

The gold and silver medallist withdrew her name from selection before the Australian Olympic Committee announced a 45-strong team to compete in South Korea from February 9 yesterday.

A champion of the half-pipe at Vancouver 2010, Bright started her qualification campaign late with only moderate success as she battled a wrist injury.
