This has happand to the UK for London 2012, everyone spent years moaning about it, then the torch relay started and the whole country started to buzz, hope this happens to france as well

Adding Singapore's results to the table

Okay, I'm slightly less defeatist about after this weekend. They thumped both France and Australia, as well as being a botched pass away from beating Ireland in the SF.
 
I'm still worried about South Africa finding a way to win (too many actual rugby world cups have conditioned me to assume they'll *always* find a way) but I at least think GBR should be competitive.
 
Honestly, it's a shame both teams won't be in Paris. Partially their fault, partially the way the qualification system is set up.

Got some big last leg runners here!

Don't think I've ever seen a men's kit quite like 

in one shot already increases its overall team size from Tokyo!

Thanks to the the men's 4x400m team, are officially the first country to qualify all 5 teams to Paris. Yay technicalities!

The "Where to Watch" post.  Going to be overnight Saturday/Sunday for us Europeans
 
Where to watch | Bahamas 24 | World Athletics Relay

Richardson over Akbar again is bonkers to me.
Not sure Stubley deserved the shot over Resztan.
Broadhurst ultimately deserves it, I’d say Shona Whitwell was second choice but Broadhurst should win a medal, you wouldn’t say that of the others

Another direct quota event coming up next week - 8-9th May will be the European Canoe Sprint Regatta in Szeged  and GB could/should have chances to qualify a couple of boats.
 
Deborah Kerr has been selected in women's K1 500m and she will team up with Emma Russell in the women's K2 500m. The Reid/Russel pairing finished 9th in last year's world championships and with most of the main European nations qualified already, GB should be in the mix for 1 of the 2 quotas available.
 
Katie Reed is back trying to get to her second Olympics. She will compete in the women's C1 200m.
 
On the men's side, Dan Johnson will go in the men's K1 1000m whilst James Russell and Trevor Thomson will be in the men's K2 500m. 

Next direct quotas on offer for GB should be this weekend at the European Archery Championships in Essen
