GB WOC pre-selections

Show Profile  bendover Posted: 7 May 2003, 3:07 AM  
selections... always a hard one eh? you can't please everyone... and certainly not everyone was pleased in the UK this weekend after GB national team selectors chose 5 athletes as 'pre-selections' for WOC in Switzerland.

Jamie Stevenson - sprint (fair enough, but why not just select him for everything?)
Heather Monro - Classic (ditto)
Jon Duncan - classic (ditto)
Sarah Rollins - sprint (no problem there
Dan Marston - sprint... (hmmmm... see below...)

and here is where the problem lies - there has only been one open sprint race where all the birtish guys have raced against each other (and it WAS a selection race)... Dan Marston finished 9th, behind several up and coming younger guys... lets just say there is a bit of disgruntlement around back in blighty.
