    I think he seems to be fully aware the selectors are not really considering cases like him,
  2. 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).
  3. Orangehair43
    Going by Bird’s interview I don’t think he thinks he will be considered.
  4. Orangehair43
    So two have to be cut.
  5. 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.
  6. Orangehair43
    And I think that’s why they won’t do it. Anderson will be told sorry but that’s the rules.
  7. Orangehair43
    I hope she doesn’t just miss out like Kierian Bird has done.
  8. Orangehair43
    That would be logical . .
  9. Orangehair43
    James Wilby takes Kieran Bird’s record of narrowest miss as well

    Why was 2021 35 becuase of Covid?
  11. Orangehair43
    And with the fact the 100 and 200 are pretty much the same pool maybe we will be lucky and see GB in that as well
  12. Orangehair43
    Are the Para races not the same rule for qualifying?
  13. Orangehair43
    Should they really be tweeting that? Maybe they should do away with the winner only rule and just say the selection time is taken if you finish first or second.
  14. Orangehair43
    It would be harsh and would come across very much about cost cutting when others who finish second will be taken without question.
  15. Orangehair43
    I would be shocked if they did that.
  16. Orangehair43
    Is Stephens secure? Only the winner is guaranteed and if they want less than 30 will runners up all go. I find it a bit odd that Aquatics GB are tweeting about how close to qualifying people who are missing out are - when it’s their time they missing not an global time,

    BBC sharing misinformation.

    I can’t see why they would need him in the relay. The fact both swimming and athletics could have selection stories prominent in the press is going to make a tense buildup. Can see eventually a rule that says an NOC can only determine selection via a domestic championship when more than 2 reach a global set time - no extra rules for any country - you set the global time and your NOC must take you or lose places in other events.
  22. Orangehair43
    Cases like this will be why some will leave the GB system and move elsewhere.
  23. Orangehair43
    0.0% chance,
  24. Orangehair43
    It could get very messy and of course there is the chance of swimmers going public and we know the press will give a platform to selection complaints. Through is there anyone actually likely to get a Time and an empty spot and not be taken? Particularly in no capacity whatsoever?
  25. Orangehair43
    And also one of the bigger events in terms of prestige. Compared to Rio and Tokyo it is going to be more noticeable to the wider public when Brits are not in swimming or Athletics events at all. After two excellent games for swimming where the finals were in the middle of the night they deserve one where the success is in primetime. (As well Beijing as well)) after both Athens and London underwhelmed.
