Athletics Weekly

the podium funding seems to have been classified all together. some of those athletes are funded much less then others> it gives an unreal perception. podium funding is those who have achieved medals. Why are they classified with the athletes who have reached the top 8 in the finals of major champio...

Yes it seems totally unfair on Freeman. She isnt the slowest in the field this season.

So which GB athletes do we think qualify this year ?

Does anyone have any details ie. startlists or streams for Rieti ?

Shame Baptiste didnt get the chance

Plyometric, how do you know the relay team are on £30,000 ?

Lets not forget that Thomas has got the selection without any lottery funding and no experience of the international circuit that is commendable and an inspiration to all athletes at club level !

Do you have personal experience on athletes and how they manage their injuries and what pressures they are under ? If not dont be judgemental !

Anyway all disagreements aside I am really looking forward to the trials. My hope is that all the athletes achieve their goals, especially those who deserve success. let it be a successful meeting without any cheating or athletes subject to drug trials , injury ,media abuse or poor weather condition...

doesnt anyone have any comments re bislett games ? it was pretty bad , we all had expectations of OC and Jeanette ! ! . They didnt look anything special. The only athlete excelling was Andy Turner ,good luck to him

I agree all athletes who want to go to the worlds should have to compete.
the public expect to see the best at the world trials otherwise why bother having them ?

are any Brits running in Lille on Tuesday ?

its all dependant whether they are with the "in" coach whether they get in the team or not.

Everyone is entitled to their own informed opinion !

i dont think it is anything to do with the other athletes. I think is to do with who is your coach !

Isnt it the responsibility of the captain to make the correct decision for the benefit of the team not just thinking it is a training session for her self !

Oh yes I know exactly what you mean , but its not always as it seems.

maybe, we can only guess what really happened cant we ?! !

I agree Meadows should have been given the chance in 800. should Freeman been given a chance in the 200 as CO was ill. Should someone else have been in the mens 4X100. All these could have given us extra points potentially and the athletes the races they need. GB could have finished 2nd !
