Team GB medal hopes - Swimming


Recommended Posts

Squad announced tommrow. Who does everyone think will be the shock inclusions and omissions. Will they be 30 or will they take less or more. Will either of the non qualified relays be given discretion.

‘UK Sport, the government agency that provides funding for the British Olympic and Paralympic programme, will have to cut 25 per cent of staff jobs and 50 per cent of its directors by July.‘

 

Medal targets are going to be very important as clearly funding is becoming a big issue across UK Sport.

I wonder if GB will withdraw if Dhina is not banned. James Guy is clearly considering it. 

No he’s not, all he did was post about the 400m free from 2015 and how Sun shouls have lost his medals. Considering your track record of swimming predictions I’m going to politely ignore your opinion.

Clearly what he is trying to say is that they should never compete again.

And how is going to make his point when they inevitably not banned. Boycott or protests - with China pulling the race card at all opportunities.

    • Lots of injuries, including often just pure bad-luck stuff like a fall from a set of stairs, illness, and of course the Sochi tragedy in 2014: one of her biathlon friends, young Julia Pieper, killed herself with a biathlon rifle early during the Olympics (she wasn't on the team, but was a training partner of both Preuss and Dahlmeier). Obviously a hard hit, which led to terrible Olympics for Preuss, with a DNF, awful results in her other individual races and a relay where she was the first runner for Germany, but fell early on, got snow in her rifle and broke a pole and ended up losing almost 3 minutes, which in turn resulted in Germany being off the podium for the first time ever.   After that came all the injuries and illness and everything. So glad to finally see her have her big individual global gold, that is so well deserved.
