    I thought the open water team was separate to the 30 limit. In which cause he does take a place in that 30 if selected.

    I think that would be too difficult for 2026 but could work for 2030 with the UK coordinating things and hosting adapted ceremonies as capital of ths Commonwealth and the middle of Time. Could also host the Athletics in the UK.

    Imagine if the relay misses out by a tiny amount.
  6. Orangehair43
    Will be very disappointing to miss the medley relay,
  7. Orangehair43
    And that was a super suit NR.
  8. Orangehair43
    She should be favourite for the Euro juniors.
  9. Orangehair43
    That’s one extra place people thought might have been filled.
  10. Orangehair43
    Would she be commentating if she was planning to be racing in a few days?
  11. Orangehair43
    I’m not sure they going to be taking relay reserves.
  12. Orangehair43
    Freya Anderson therefore effectively confirmed as not going then.

    At Rio and Tokyo Russians being absent would have given a few more medals but this time arrond it’s only Men’s gymnastics team where they absence helps .
  15. Orangehair43
    Maybe in 2028/2032 the 200 fly can be strong as well.
  16. Orangehair43
    And that’s where the 30 limit goes into cost cutting territory rather than raising standards.
  17. Orangehair43
    Plus a few months to the games. If one of the top 4x200m guys had to withdraw from Paris it’s likely they would try and keep the relay spot with the next in line.
  18. Orangehair43
    Wilby has more to his case in terms of prior experience of making numerous major finals and being Peaty’a relay backup. If they don’t take him then Peaty will surely have to do the relay heats That doesn’t fit a focus on relays as good medal opportunities.
  19. Orangehair43
    I think he seems to be fully aware the selectors are not really considering cases like him,
  20. Orangehair43
    You can tell that the selectors have already told atheltes they is no discretionary place. Kieran Bird looked like someone who knows he only be in Paris as a spectator. Think Wilby might also miss out if they have enough confirmed and will they take Stephens if they do need to cut further (Or would like less in general).
  21. Orangehair43
    Going by Bird’s interview I don’t think he thinks he will be considered.
  22. Orangehair43
    So two have to be cut.
  23. Orangehair43
    It is a hard decision because if she doesn’t perform in the relay someone will feel justified in being very annoyed. That’s the big issue with having a set number. No room to mitigate the risk from gambles.
  24. Orangehair43
    And I think that’s why they won’t do it. Anderson will be told sorry but that’s the rules.
  25. Orangehair43
    I hope she doesn’t just miss out like Kierian Bird has done.
