GB are apparently not sending a team to Rome for the Europeans according to someone I know connected to an athlete.

Maybe they will change but it seems like no team is what people connected to the sport think is happening because of cost reasons.

He's talking sh**e! The selection policy was published in January - there's no trials, so it will largely be down to the individual athletes expressing an interest in attending. So, whilst we are unlikely to have a huge team full of our big Olympic medal prospects, there will be a British team in Rome.

During the World Indoors, we were discussing if the times for the 4x400m in the NCAA Indoors would be quicker.

 

Well....

 

Men

World Indoors Belgium 3:02.54 - NCAA Indoors Arizona State 3:02.35 & obviously faster than the US National Team

 

Women

World Indoors Netherlands 3:27.07 - NCAA Indoors South Carolina 3:26.30 & also faster than the US National Team
