Impressive result - the only country to have qualified both teams, so now just concentrate on preparation for Paris.

Will be interesting to see whether Max Whitlock is able to earn a spot on the team after his break post Tokyo.

 

All things being equal and assuming no injuries in the intervening period, but it is difficult to see how they can drop Fraser. Tulloch and Regini-Moran as individual world medalists would also be difficult to displace. Jake Jarman gets a lot of media attention but not quite living up to the hype yet, but the expectation is that by Paris, he will have built in more difficulty and will be delivering more consistently. That would leave James Hall as potentially the most vulnerable.

This thread will probably be a bit quiet for a bit longer, as there aren't many events for a while. Things will pick up around March-time.

Sky Brown becomes Skateboard Park World Champion & Lola Tambling sixth, so that’ll be two quota places sealed.

After a winter without many events we're back with Seaonaid McIntosh earning a silver medal and a quota place at the European Shooting Championships (10m).

I could be wrong on this, but it feels like Team GB are doing better than we have in previous Olympic cycles - we haven't had any unexpected quotas, but we seem to be banking those quotas earlier than we have done previously.

I agree with that assessment. Early doors though

We look promising in many sports early on too. In swimming we could be set for having an athlete in every event, and in shooting we could be set for 8-10 shooters and almost one in every discipline - which is more than double from the 3-4 we had at Tokyo.
