All-around champion Georgia Bonora added two more gold medals in finals as the Australian Women's Championships concluded Sunday in Perth.
 Natalia Joura, younger sister of Olympian Dasha Joura, competed in all four junior apparatus finals, winning the gold medal on floor exercise.Bonora won titles on uneven bars and floor exercise, and placed second on balance beam to Emma Dennis. Queensland's Sophie Budack won the senior vault title.
Mary-Anne Monckton, second to Bonora in Friday's all-around final, won a second silver on uneven bars.
"Bonora and Monckton have proven themselves this week," head coach Peggy Liddick said. "Those two clearly separated themselves from the rest of the pack."
Bonora, 20, and Monckton, 15, are considered locks for Australia's squads for October's Commonwealth Games and world championships. The nationals in Perth served as trials for the fall events.
"Today I was looking for two things at these apparatus finals," Liddick said. "Firstly, level of fitness of the girls, who can go that third day, which simulates a Commonwealth Games or worlds event. Second thing I was looking for is the consistency factor. Some girls hit all three days in a row."
Several gymnasts are petitioning to the teams, including two-time world championships silver medalist Lauren Mitchell. Mitchell, the 2009 Australian champion, was sidelined this week with an adductor strain.
In the junior competition, all-around champion Angela Donald added two more gold medals on uneven bars and balance beam. Donald will be Australia's entry for the 2010 Youth Olympic Games, to be held next month in Singapore.
Victoria's Tierra Exum, ninth all-around Friday, won the junior vault title. Natalia Joura, younger sister of 2008 Olympian Dasha Joura, won the gold medal on floor exercise and silver on uneven bars.
Gymnastics action continues this week in Canberra with the Australian Men's Championships.
