    Are the Para races not the same rule for qualifying?
  2. 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.
  3. Orangehair43
    It would be harsh and would come across very much about cost cutting when others who finish second will be taken without question.
  4. Orangehair43
    I would be shocked if they did that.

    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.

    Cases like this will be why some will leave the GB system and move elsewhere.

    0.0% chance,

    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?

    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.

    Maybe but depends on if they think any of those extra swimmers might be able to medal in a relay. And that feels like it only aplies to the men’s and mixed.

    It’s interesting that British Gymnastics announce it on social media as if all six are part of the team event with the main graphic not containing the distinction.
  17. Orangehair43
    They won’t. If anything they probably want less than 30 for cost reasons.

    The French government are cowards. They could announce no Russian or Belarusian will be given a visa to compete and the IOC will have no right to interfere
  20. Orangehair43
    Because they seem to be gambling on it being a strong medal hope and will face a buildup dominated by selection issues.
  21. Orangehair43
    It is relatively unlike he will make the top 2 and qualify for the individual event.
  22. Orangehair43
    I wonder if the BBC will mention on air the relay issues as the champs go ahead or it won’t be apparent till they quietly reject a few quotas.

    The mixed relay will set the tone for the tram. Medal and I think it will be a good games. Don’t and it could be an epic faluire. . The London Diamond League coverage will be non stop chat about selection issues for Paris I suspect. We all know the BBC does not like any policy that reduces the number of Brits competing because more Brits - more ratings. A lot of people only want to watch Brits competing.
  25. Orangehair43
    I wonder what the chances he become a Guy Leamouth and goes to the press when they reject a world ranking.
