The official announcement includes 4 women named to the team whilst an appeal is resolved - someone out of Rose Davies, Linden Hall, Georgia Griffith and Lauren Ryan is going to be cut. Wonder who appealed / what happened?
I know Australia would have a tougher time having a trials like the USA, but this is why the USA approach of "top 3 at trials go" is better. No appeals. Just merit in the moment.
Yes, you can always wonder whether it might be nice to have one choice at large, but politics would result. And, really, it's unlikely the outcomes would be "better" across the years.
Then again, the USA has the numbers where this also makes more sense. Other countries, less so.
