re: BrainCelll

Notably:

Wightman selected in the 800 despite DNS trials
Atkins selected in the 5000 despite DNS Trials
Jack Rowe left out of 5000 squad
Dever doubling* despite not having 5000 standard
Mills doubling
Eilish selected despite not showing form

re: BrainCelll

Sending all 3 in the men’s 5k including Sam Adtkin.

1 year ago 07/05/2024 8:45am EDT

re: BrainCelll

I’m quite surprised about Eilish but at least she hasn’t taken a spot away from anyone else with Jess WJ out ill.

Shame we can’t send any women in the 5k.

They definitely have their favourites.

Dever does have the 5000 standard.

Im completely lost on their choice of Dever vs. Rowe in the 5000

& leaving Nuttal out of the W5000 is pathetic

OK I take this back about Dever, missed he had the standard

I also thought Rowe would be selected but Dever was 2nd in the trials and is automatic with the standard.

They have been so unsupportive of him. Didn’t select him for the Euros, he has difficulty getting in to races to show his form/ get the Olympic standard.

If they are looking to inspire the next generation of athletes then they are failing miserably. Bunch of idiots.

Yep Nuttal looked really good at the Champs. But let’s not send anyone. Great decision!

1 year ago 07/05/2024 9:09am EDT

re: BrainCelll

Why is Dever selected for the 10,000 when he doesn't have the standard? Don't get me wrong, 100% agree he should be, but then UKA have not selected Nuttall or Norman when they are both less than a second off their respective standards?!

Atkin over Rowe??!

1 year ago 07/05/2024 9:22am EDT

re: UKrunner202

He's already on the plane for the 5000, wouldn't cost them much more money to send him.

1 year ago 07/05/2024 9:25am EDT

re: BrainCelll

So Wightman got the nod.

That 1.44 was just about enough, but he better be fit.

Bianca Williams over Amy Hunt is one of the most baffling decisions i've seen UKA make in a while. Who did Hunt piss off?

The surprises that USOT spring are unfortunate sometimes but it's far better than needing to deal with selection committee BS like this.

re: BrainCelll

Atkin over Rowe is stupid. He'll probably DNF is history is anything to go by. Atkin has had chance after chance and failed to deliver. And Rowe ran the trials and finished third.

re: High hopes

How does UKA select their team? Do the trials not mean much? Any guarantee of going either by winning or getting top 2/3?

why was Wightman left off the 1500 team? Two years out from WC gold..

I’m confused about Amy Hunt. Didn’t she get silver at the Champs? And she performed well in the Euros. Does she not have the standard? I haven’t been that focused on the sprint distances.

Top 2 go. Third is discretionary- all world champs medallista from last year get a pass. Then they look at recent form/injury history and clearly make it up as they go along.’

The most annoying thing is not sending athletes who are a fraction off the standard but would be accepted/have an invite in world rankings. Why they do this I don’t know. Maybe money.
