well that was terrible. Brodie Young gave the team far too much to do. Pipi's leg did not look too good either. Massively disappointing

Agree on Young - he was just too far back and it had a knock on effect for Pipi's leg. Dobson got them back in it and perhaps Nielsen made a tactical error when she caught up to the Belgian - I think if she had held on her shoulder a bit more, she may have had enough to get past her on the final straight.

 

Can't see how they stick with that lineup for tomorrow though.

Honestly Nielsen made another big tactical error coming off the final bend, she went wide as if she was thinking she was going to have a go at Ireland, rather than keeping the Belgian boxed in on the curb. It might have made the difference with the metres saved and making her go the long way round

Women's 4x100m team seems to be missing our big guns of DAS and DN: Philip, Lansiquot, Williams, Hunt

Neither Asher Smith or Neita were in the squad selected to go to Bahamas so this is probably their strongest team available.

Any ideas why? Given both are running very well at the moment, this would strike me as a "you have to turn up and compete meet"?

Small consolation, but GB were the fastest non-qualifying team in the mixed 4x400 and were 5th fastest overall. The draw for tomorrow's repechage could be really important.

    • I think the reason is that it's generally preferable to have a fast shooter in the 1st leg, and especially in the prone shooting, where Hofer is quite slow.   Now, I'm not saying I agree with the choice, because I don't. I think it's going to neutralize Giacomel's skiing skills in the 1st lap at least.   I guess the idea is to try and set a very fast pace in the 1st leg, which is usually quite tactical, but I'm afraid that's going to force Giacomel to risk too much because he will feel he has to make some time somehow.   Regardless, Italy must be on the podium tomorrow. I think that would be crucial for the following races as well. I think France is the clear favorite, but the other teams are not stronger than Italy on paper.
