I can only assume Emile himself has not absolutely decided which event to target, marathon or 10,000...

I think that could be the case. It could also be the fact that he hasn't go enough marathons under his belt to back up his time from last year, whereas Sesseman has.

Haven't done one of these for a while but this weekend has one of the big domestic events for artistic gymnastics so thought it was worth taking a look at  

 

Artistic Gymnastics 

 

 

Policy Document(s):

Key Points:

• Although separate policy documents, the process is essentially the same.
• Medal target for men's squad is 1-2 medals. Likewise for the women, the target has been set as 1-2 medals.

• In order to be considered for the squad, gymnasts are required to have achieved minimum performance standard for each apparatus at one or more of the DSEs.

 

Performance Factors to be Considered by Panel:

• Current performance form in the build-up to nomination at the DSEs.
• Consistent performance form in the build-up to nomination at the DSEs.

Jessica Gadirova had ACL tear at World Champs and is about 3 months into her rehab program.

Ever? Yes.

 

In time for Paris? Somewhere between not very likely and not a chance. But hard to tell what end of the scale.

That’s a real shame for the GB ladies, probably should lower that medal expectations…

I think any Artistic Gymnastics medals will come solely from the men.

It’s looking that way. A few individual finals possible but I’m not sure where a medal would come from
