Epic Failure 195 Posted Saturday at 08:03 PM #461 Share Posted Saturday at 08:03 PM The policy is the same that it has been for a couple of years now. The athletes not selected will complain, nothing will happen. It will be forgotten about by the general public in a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They changed those policies to fill a few spots so they don’t look too cost cutting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure it will be when they are several events without a British competitor and the general public are told UK athletics were offered spots and rejected them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the year before. The British Champs aren't even on normal TV anymore. The idea that there will be some kind of mass public outcry is not supported by any evidence.

Well I know for a fact from talking to one that a group interview is being strongly considered by a group who think they will see their invites rejected. Obviously won’t be successful but unlike just individuals speaking out a whole group speaking out will generate a bit more coverage.

Epic Failure 195 Posted Saturday at 08:37 PM #469 Share Posted Saturday at 08:37 PM Assuming that I believe that what you are saying is 100% true - and I have my doubts considering your track record of accuracy in some of your claims is...not the best - it still doesn't change the central point that I'm making, which is that the evidence doesn't support that it will make a blind bit of difference. I'd love to be wrong. I'd love for the public to be up in arms and force a change. But it ain't gonna happen. Olympicsnell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team is being selected on Monday, then announced on Friday. The next DL isn't until the Sunday after that. Chalmers might be in a ranking position when the final list is released, but UKA isn't accepting that in the 400m H. I wonder is there the possibility for someone who has a ranking invite, but not a Q, to beat the Q in London? Wa/IOC will ignore it for deadline, but might UKA accept the ranking invite on the basis Q is now met.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
