So the French Federation decided not to invite our best jumpers, whom, I guess, were given an invite from EA (R.Diallo 6th in the wTJ, H.Kpatcha 8th in the wLJ, JB Bertrand 10th in the mLJ) ... at least Celia Perron is now in for the pentathlon (Henriette Jaeger is out due to Covid), well deserved after she was "robbed" her spot by some obscure host-nation quota 

So 26 athletes, very limited roster, what a shame. Paris is 3 years from now and they're still reluctant to send young guns showing great promises. Those who make it to Poland have good chances to deliver though ...

 

Is that something new?
I‘m also very disappointed that Leduc get no place. She was really close the the French limit and is still in the TOP 20 in Europe and has to potential to make it even through to the final. 
Also surprised that Zahi is in the Team, after her injury in Karlsruhe.

Not easy to keep up with the policy. They were very harsh and then started to open the team to newcomers but now they close it again ... I mean EIC is not the most important target of the year, what is the point here ?

This season the European Indoors are very important for qualification for the olympics. They bring more points than a normal competition outdoor, so it would be hopeful to reach a good place here, if you not the limit from WA.

Yeah, forgot about that too 

Even worse then, athletes that could obtain a good result and extremly valuable points for the world ranking are denied a participation ...

Sadly Konrad Bukowiecki and Ewa Swoboda will not take part in starting tomorrow IEC, Bukowiecki due to foot injury which he gets yesterday and defending champion Swoboda due to positive covid-19 test, and yet two days ago her test was negative...

Start Lists for tomorrow are out btw.

[dcro 10,210]

You know, the usual for the nation who placed 7th in the Rio medal table...
