Haha I thought Fukuoka trials were decent but then USA had way better trials. But then it just all came together for us.

 

Almost everything fell our way and I don’t think that’ll happen again

That’s probably a just as good replacement, I just hope we go better than the solitary bronze in Tokyo, they are much better than that

I wasnt aware of Storm Hunters injury

oh,well,there goes my outside chance of a doubles medal

[Dkats 294]

I was expecting Perez/Ebden to be selected in mixed doubles, as at Roland Garros a few weeks back they were ranked no1 seed but lost in the third round.

Maybe they will be selected later on 

 

Storm hunters injury was unfortunate

Promising junior Cam Myers not selected for the 1500m. The three entries will be Olivier Hoare, Stewart McSweyn and Adam Spencer. 

 

[Dkats 294]

What a joke that is, someone with so much potential, why not give him the experience of a first Olympics? 
 

Oh yeah let’s instead pick McSweyn who inevitably isn’t gonna do anything or get any better

 

Awful decision
