Just correcting this - looks like Hall was promoted to the team when Whitlock withdrew and Whitehouse became the British individual athlete.

Quick run down of the results from the European Champs this weekend starting with team qualifying/individual all-around from Wednesday: Jake Jarman: Finished 4th in the individual all-around and was 0.334 shy of the podium. As expected, he had a great vault - 14.933 - which I think was the highest vault score in the AA. He also had a great floor routine scoring 14.533. He made the individual final for both floor and vault. He probably underperformed on the 4 other apparatus - 13.866 for pommel, 13.133 for rings, 13.400 for P-Bars and 13.566 for the horizontal bar. Going into Paris, I'd like to see him hitting 14+ on 4 apparatus. Rings will always be a bit of a struggle, but it would be great to see him consistently hitting over 13.500. Courtney Tulloch: Finished 14th in the individual all-around. He put in good performances on both rings and vault, scoring 14.700 for both and qualifying for the rings final. Other than that, his results were about what we would expect - 13.800 for floor, 12.366 on pommel, 13.700 on P-Bars and 12.566 on horizontal bar. Joe Fraser: Had a nightmare start, falling 3 times on pommel and it didn't get much better as he went through the rest of the apparatus. In the end, he finished 52nd in the all-around as he failed to score over 14.000 on any of the apparatus. His scores were 10.000 for pommel, 13.566 for rings, 13.900 for vault, 12.266 on P-Bars, 13.866 on horizontal bar and 12.500 on floor. Luke Whitehouse: Came in as late replacement for Max Whitlock and had solid qualification competition. His highlight was the floor where he qualified for the individual final in 2nd place with 14.766. He also qualified for the vault final. Harry Hepworth: Not sure what to make of Hepworth - not sure if he is carrying a niggle or was just out of sorts - but he only competed on vault and rings, and his results were not enough to get him into the individual finals. Overall the team qualified in 2nd place behind , scoring 251.028 against Ukraine's 253.661. Also competing this week was as an individual athlete was James Hall, and he lived up to his reputation as Mr. Consistent, scoring 13.800 on floor, 13.900 on pommel, 14.333 on P-Bars and 12.966 on horizontal bar. His P-Bar score was enough to see him qualify for the individual final in 8th place.

Disappointing results from Tulsa overnight in round 5 of BMX Racing world cup. On the men's side, none of the Brits made it out of the quarter finals. Ross Cullen was best finisher in 18th ahead of Quillan Isidore in 24th and Kye Whyte down in 33rd. From a ranking perspective, expect a big swing in favour of - it probably won't be enough to overtake , but they should have closed the gap to around 150 or so points. will also have closed the gap significantly after Niek Kimmann topped the podium but they were about 1,000 points behind going into this weekend so they still have work to do if they want to get into the top 5. The women's competition was another disappointment - Emily Hutt didn't make it into the Under-23 final and finished in 12th overall. In the women's elite, Bethany Shriever looked great throughout the rounds and was well placed in the final before going off course and finishing 8th. will extend their lead in the rankings by around 200 points. with only 3 more races left before the end of the qualifying window, we're getting close to the stage where we can say that Colombia won't/can't be caught.

BMX Racing World Cup - Round 5 Tulsa Men's Elite: 1.) Niek Kimmann 2.) Izaac Kennedy 3.) Cedric Butti Women's Elite: 1.) Saya Sakakibara 2.) Manon Veenstra 3.) Alise Willoughby

TBF it's not wildly dissimilar to a lot of the other sports - team qualification gets you entry into the individual event with additional individual quotas available for each continent. That's the same approach that is taken in equestrian. Personally, I think the biggest issue with the fencing qualification process is the fact that if a nation qualifies a team, then all 3 team members get to enter the individual event. This limits the breadth of competition given the relatively small size of the field. I'd prefer to see team qualification give 2 quotas for the individual event - as happens with track cycling - and then awarding more individual quotas at the continental competitions.

Looks like O'Dowda has pulled out of the heptathlon in Brescia as she hasn't lined up for the 200m. Probably a wise decision given the results from the first three events meant it was unlikely that she was going to hit the targets she had set herself. Hopefully she will line up in Gotzis next month.

Gives her the OQS - wonder if she will want to double up in Paris.

Pretty shocking set of results from European Champs - GBR won just 2 fights across the 10 athletes we had competing.

Conditions in Brescia seem to be getting worse. O'Dowda manages just 1.74m in the high jump. The OQS drifts further out of reach but she is still in with shout of hitting UKA standard.

Jade O'Dowda's quest to get the OQS in the heptathlon takes a bit of a knock after a 13.87 in the 100m hurdles. She's looks to be in great form but was running into a 2.8m/s headwind. It's difficult to see how she can get the standard now without PBing in a couple of events.

Another meeting tomorrow - LSU Invitational: Decathlete Jack Turner will compete in both the 110m hurdles and the Shot Put. (He's also down to do a leg of 4x400 relay for Arkansas). On the women's side, Desiree Henry goes in the 100m whilst Amber Anning goes in 200m.

Kristjan Archer crashes out of the tournament in the first round and will finish in 11th place. He was the 2nd highest seed in the tournament based on world ranking but wasn't at his best in the pool matches. In stark contrast, Julia Caron was undefeated in her pool and moved into the knockout rounds as the 2nd seed and as such was given a bye to the quarter finals where she defeated Anna Zens of Luxembourg. Later today, she'll be up against Israel's Dar Hect in the semi-finals.

She competed earlier this month on the road - I think she did the Boston mile a couple of weeks ago and did the 5k event at the Paris marathon at the start of April but her last track race was probably in July last year.

Ondine Achampong has been withdrawn from the team due to injury and will be replaced by Abigail Martin next week.

Selection of athletes in action over the course of this weekend including: 27th Apr: Shanghai Diamond League : Megan Keith secured the OQS in the 10,000m at the first time of asking. In Shanghai, she goes over the 5000m. Her PB in the event is just under 14:57 from last year so she would need to find 5 seconds to dip under the standard. Ethan Hussey will compete in the 800m and Daryll Neita gets her outdoor season underway in the 200m. 27th-28th: 37th Multistars : Jade O'Dowda is scheduled to compete in the Heptathlon. The OQS is 6480 - 225 points more than her current PB but it's not out of reach. If she can get under 13.5 for the 100m hurdles and get over 1.86 in the high jump, she'll set herself up with a great chance of getting the standard despite a relatively weak shot put. If she does fall short of the OQS, her secondary target will be the UK Athletics standard of 6260 - that's just 5 points more than her current PB. 27-Apr: Texas Invitational : Dina Asher-Smith will line up in both the 100m and 200m. Whilst she has put in a couple of solid relay legs so far this season, her opening outing in the 200m earlier this month was probably not quite what she wanted it to be. Yusuf Bizimana will be going in the 800m 27-Apr: Desert Heat Classic : David King opens his outdoor season in the 110m Hurdles, whilst Brodie Young is in the 400m 27-Apr: Drake Relays : Tade Ojora lines up in the 110m hurdles. He currently heads up the UK list for 2024 with his 13.48 but needs to find another 0.2 seconds to hit the OQS. Cindy Sember already has the OQS and has been in great form so far this year and will look to continue that in the 100m hurdles. Lizzie Bird makes her 2024 track debut in the 3000m Steeplechase 27-Apr: Penn Relays : Kyle Langford competes in the 800m

Can I applaud you for not pointing out the obvious flaw in the previous poster's attempt to spread yet more misery and misinformation to the group. The "vertical jumps" that they seem to think will be bereft of British participation are actually in pretty rude health given that's the pole vault and high jump.

There's more to Great Britain and Northern Ireland than just England

Sorry - I misunderstood what you were asking. The wording of the qualification process has changed since Tokyo. For Tokyo, the general rule for qualifying via continental qualifier was an NOC could only qualify 1 boat with the exception of NOCs who had not qualified any boats at the previous world champs who could qualify 2 boats if they both won their events: For Paris, the situation is different - NOCs who did not qualify any boats at last year's world champs could qualify 2 boats at the continental qualifier and it did not matter where they finished so for example, Iran qualified in both the women's single sculls and women's lightweight double sculls at the Asian qualifier by finishing 3rd and 2nd respectively. For NOCs that qualified 1 boat at the World Champs, then the only way they can qualify 2 further boats at the continental qualifier is by having both of the boats finishing 1st.

Same clause is in force for Paris - bottom of page 5 of qualification document:

This qualifier is limited to nations who had only qualified 1 boat at the World Champs last year so GB (and most of the main European nations) aren't eligible to compete and will look to get further boats qualified at the last chance regatta next month.

Men's Kite Quotas: + 3 from Women's Kite Quotas: + 3 from:

Connor Bainbridge secures the quota in men's kite and completes full sailing squad for Team GB in Paris.

Interesting that they are showing as 1st reserve for men's sprint - evidently the supplementary entry they got through qualifying in the keirin does not prevent them from qualifying a second rider.
