I must admit I'm a bit disappointed not to see the battle with Keely and Mora.. but positive news for the Brits' medal hopes. I guess its pretty difficult to do this in America but if this was Keely or maybe even Jemma they would be put on the team no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reekie has a chance of bronze if she doesn’t try and follow the big 2. If she goes all out for gold I’d worry she dies on the home straight out of the medals Reekie has a tendency to front run - she must resist that instinct, and basically tuck in behind Hodkinson the entire way - there's just a chance, if she does that, Keely drags her to a medal, possibly even past Moraa.

America is incredibly litigious - if they tried discretionary picks, they'd be drowned in lawsuits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't be a problem if they had the policy written out in advance. They just can't change it midway through the competition! It would be the same in the UK if both Keely and Jemma fell and the top 2 had the Q. Only one of them would make it.

Olympicsnell 61 Posted Tuesday at 10:26 PM #415 Share Posted Tuesday at 10:26 PM Men's 100 at the trials, who do we think is getting the 2 spots? Am hoping hinchliffe, and maybe Prescod? That event and both 800's and 1500's are what intrigue me the most, everything else should be pretty clear cut, was gonna go but all tickets on home straight are gone and i can't be bothered sitting anywhere else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epic Failure 183 Posted Tuesday at 10:44 PM #416 Share Posted Tuesday at 10:44 PM If I'm talking about who I would like to get the spots, Azu and Hinchliffe. I'm intrigued for the 400s as well. Relay implications there. The middle distances are where the real action is at though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoebe Gill to shock Reekie and claim the 800m title. Neita v Dina in the 200m will be a great battle, I’m edging Dina to take it. other than that I agree with most of these predictions. Possibly Hinchliffe to beat Azu in the 100m. Edited Wednesday at 04:24 AM by RussB mpjmcevoy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epic Failure 183 Posted Wednesday at 09:34 AM #420 Share Posted Wednesday at 09:34 AM Mills has dropped the 5k for just the 1500m here. Pozzi out of the hurdles, which is a shame, although if they did want to select him I guess there's nothing stopping them. No Aimee Pratt either. For what it is worth (not much), here's my thoughts: 100m - (M) Azu, Hinchliffe, Glave ; (W) Neita, Hunt, Wedderurn-Goodison 200m - (M) MHS, Quainoo, Efoloko ; (W) DAS, Neita, Agyapong 400m - (M) Dobson, Carvell, Smith ; (W) Anning, Nielsen, Ohuruogo 800m - (M) Pattison, Giles, Sharman-Newell ; (W) Reekie, Gill, Baker 1500m - (M) Wightman, Gourley, Mills ; (W) Muir, Bell, Walcott-Nolan 5000m - (M) Dever, Atkin, Rowe ; (W) Fry, Nuttall, Fitzgerald 3000m SC - (M) Norman, Seddon, Pierce ; (W) Bird, Thorner, Tank 110m H - (M) Bennett, Ojora, King, : (W) Sember, Pawlett, Wakefield 400m H - (M) Chalmers, Faulds, Derbyshire ; (W) Nielsen, Knight, Newnham HJ - (M) JCK, Grimsey, Jack (W) Lake, KJT, Ferguson PV - (M) Heard, Hague, Coppell ; (W) Caudrey, Bradshaw, Ashurst LJ - (M) JFD, Farquhson, Fortheringham ; (W) Hopkins, Irozuru, Olajide TJ - (M) Falode, Ajala, Bright-Davies ; (W) Ojora, Metzger, Omitowoju SP - (M) Lincoln, Cameron, Swan ; (W) Vincent, Omoregie, Campbell Discus - (M) Okoye, Percy, Thompson ; (W) Lally, Law, Oladipo Hammer - (M) Norris, Ikeji, T Campbell; (W) Purchase, Payne, Mayho Javelin - (M) East, Evans, Bainbridge ; (W) Walton, F Jones, A Jones mpjmcevoy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
