Anyway, I'm happy por Derek but sad for Charlotte. I think she's the future of british marathon running, cause she's so young; not being part of the olympic team is a mistake by BA.... Well, Charlotte did not achieve the British qualification standard so her chances of going to Rio were very very small. The selectors have made it clear that any 3rd athlete must have achieved the GB selection standard, so athletes need to work towards tha. the 20km race walking teams still have to be selected, their trials are in Leeds at the start of June.

MantaRaymarc 75 Posted May 4, 2016 #12 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Do you know how and when will Great Britain select the sailing crews in men's 470 and 49er? I just noticed that Luke Patience and Elliot Willis had been deselected to the team few months ago because of the Willis' ongoing battle with bowel cancer. He was replaced by Chris Grube.

It's already been published on Team GB site. I just want to find out how did the British sailors select Fletcher and Sign over Pink and Bithell, who earned the quota place for Team GB at the Worlds two years ago.

Quasit 849 Posted August 2, 2016 #18 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Graeme Thomas (men's quadruple sculls) is out and replaced by Jack Beaumont. Stopped watching sports, there are better things in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quasit 849 Posted August 5, 2016 #19 Share Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) Day 1 Finals Archery - Men's Team no British participation Cycling - Men's Road Race Steve Cummings Chris Froome Ian Stannard Geraint Thomas Adam Yates The course is made for climbers apparently so Froome could have a chance if he does something. I wouldn't make predictions for this race though as anything can happen. Fencing - Women's Individual Épée no British participation Judo - Women's -48kg no British participation Judo - Men's -60kg Ashley McKenzie Should beat Özlü in R32 but will then face the current world champion Smetov in R16. Repechage is possible if Smetov makes it far. Shooting - Women's 10m Air Rifle Jennifer McIntosh I don't know, a better finish than in London (36th) would be nice. No chance for a medal. Shooting - Men's 10m Air Pistol no British participation Swimming - Women's 400m Individual Medley Hannah Miley Aimee Willmott Both should make the final and Miley could go for silver if things to well. Husszu will be too strong. Swimming - Women's 4x100m Freestyle Relay no British participation Swimming - Men's 400m Freestyle James Guy Stephen Milne Milne should aim for a new PB and Guy is a medal contender if things go well. However, he will face strong competition such as Park , Sun , Horton , Detti , Cochrane and the Americans . Just hope his swimming trunks sit tight. Swimming - Men's 400m Individual Medley Max Litchfield Should qualify for the final. Weightlifting - Women's -48kg no British participation optimistic shot on medals 3 reasonable shot on medals 1 Edited August 5, 2016 by Quasit hckošice 1 Stopped watching sports, there are better things in life.

Quasit 849 Posted August 7, 2016 #20 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Team GB medals after Day 1 Rank Gold Silver Bronze Total --- 0 0 0 0 After a disappointing start no medals for GB on Day 1. The only highlight was Peaty's WR and McIntosh finished 15th which is very good. 21 places better than 4 years ago. Stopped watching sports, there are better things in life.
