Really hope that before the end of the champs, one of the swimmers breaks ranks and responds by saying "well I've done the time they asked for, so they bloody well better select me!" It could be worse, he was doing the interviews in Doha and the poor foreign athletes had to deal with his sometimes poorly worded questions in a second language!

RussB 62 Posted April 4 #172 Share Posted April 4 Re. Colbert given her age and the direction of travel I think it’s reasonable to expect her to drop further time towards 4m 30 in Paris and again, fully expect her to be in the mix, that’s not to say she’s a favourite to beat Grimes et al but definitely a contender .

I think we can reasonably expect her to make the final and then who knows? But it's worth noting that both Grimes and Summer are younger than her, so in theory they should also be expected to drop time! And Forrester is only a few months older. Don't get me wrong, Freya is a great talent. Just think we should temper our expectations slightly. A new British record for Max Litchfield!

Epic Failure 179 Posted April 4 #175 Share Posted April 4 Yeah, somewhere around 4.09 is getting towards the minor medals. Obviously, gold is likely staying in France! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafa Maciel 1,510 Posted April 4 Author #178 Share Posted April 4 "They're going to take 5 or 6 people for the relay" Mark Foster must know that's just not going to happen under the current selection policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafa Maciel 1,510 Posted April 4 Author #179 Share Posted April 4 Thinking of the relay - does anyone know if GB Aquatics do relay training? I think the athletics squads have specific training sessions dedicated to the relays but can't recall them ever being mentioned in relation to swimming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
