We take a look at what the Team Emageo Athletes have been up to on the social media front over the last week.
Itโs been a big couple of weeks for us here at #TeamEmageo with plenty of long nights and early starts but no one is complaining!
Just before we get into the action, we hope everyone had a fantastic Australia Day.
Ok … moving in to a big couple of weeks, highlighted by the amazing effort of super-mum Lisa Weightman, who in the early hours of Monday morning all but booked her spot for the Rio Olympics at the ripe old age of 37.

Way to prove all the doubters wrong Lisa.
Well done to hubby Lachlan who ran a PB as well.
We couldnโt be prouder … bring on Rio!!
So proud of my husband @LachlanMcArthur and so blessed to have such an amazing family who have helped us qualify! #LittlePete

She lead for over half of the race and wasnโt easy to get past.
If youโre eating dinner maybe wait until you finish before watching this.
Lisaโs back in Melbourne now and took some to write a few words on her remarkable return to the top of her game.
Pretty inspiring stuff.
Lisa Weightman and Lachlan are back home after super Houston trip. Read how she got on. https://t.co/HRjhhm55gV pic.twitter.com/WzoGIUitOL

Melbourne is the place to be at the moment with the Aussie Open is in full swing with John Peers has been a busy man as usual.
Heโs been trying out for Dancing with the Stars.
Trying his luck at snooker.
And trying to work on his long game.
Oh, he has been hitting the courts as well.

Matt Ebdenโs been at Melbourne Park too.
Coming up with new ways to choose his new look.
Maybe ask Dorff for a a couple of pointers.
Olivia Rogowska has been busy making some new cuddly friends in Melbourne.
At least these ones donโt come out from the woodwork at the last minute.
Ah Australian open! That time of year when your friends that you havent heard from in years ask for Aus open tickets #everysingleyear
— Olivia Rogowska (@oliviarogowska) January 18, 2016
Casey is in Melbourne too.
Although not playing due to injury, sheโs getting close to making her return.
Encouraging news for @caseydellacqua, who told me she expects to return to the WTA tour next month: https://t.co/KAFqeQ91lm @TennisAustralia

With a bit of spare time why not polish up on your next career perhaps.
Better Homes and Gardens look out.
Happy Sunday @JohGriggs7 ๐ and the gorgeous @caseydellacqua ๐ #7tennis #AusOpen pic.twitter.com/QdPzpR7xZj

However one thing is for sure there won’t be any appearance on Australian Idol.
We feel for you Blake.
The plus side of being on the sidelines for Case is more time with the family.
We have a huge extended family of our own, check out some of their best work this week.
Somebody has started work before me this morning! #BrightSpark pic.twitter.com/PkQXPQjLmA

And it doesnโt look like long until we will see Mr and Mrs Peers walk down the isle.
Danielle putting the pressure on.

Iโm sure Mr and Mrs Dorff could give you guys some wedding advice.
Like how to make the move into reality TV, move over Jamie and Nigella.

Could banana bread be the secret to Dorffโs success?
Well it might help but the main factor is more likely Juvelle.
A chef and a fitness coach, the great man has struck gold.
Ever wondered what the secret to Jason Behrendorff's success is. Here she is: https://t.co/RPwobcW69F #MADETOUGH pic.twitter.com/wqIFYWBW3D

And Alex Beck isnโt doing to bad for himself either.
Where was our invite?
We have to congratulate Lleyton Hewitt on the most remarkable career.
Enjoy retirement Rusty!
So proud of @johnwpeers @AustralianOpen A true Sportsman and Gentleman!! Well done @SamGrothTennis @lleytonhewitt pic.twitter.com/shle4hPmNf

And finally from where youโd rather be.
This weekโs winner is Melbourne, no doubt one of the sporting capitals of the world.
Thatโs it from us, enjoy the rest of the tennis and weโll catch you next week.
