Holly Byrnes
Holly Byrnes is The Daily Telegraph’s TV and media writer which justifies weekends spent on the couch watching re-runs of J.A.G and any episode of The Real Housewives she can get her hands on. Her sporting prowess peaked with an impressive effort ringing every person she knows and singing the Sydney Swans theme song to their answering machines from several Melbourne watering holes in the wake of their historic 2005 flag win. Her gold medal chances lie in online shopping and buying the affections of her nieces and nephews.
