They are going to drag it out as long as possible.

I wonder what the hold up is? Seems cruel to keep these athletes hanging.

No Canadian women racing at Leeds.

They might be dealing with appeals before publishing? Maybe waiting on training/injury status before making a final selection...who knows???

I think it must be an appeal..
Judging by social media posts.. I think it's a safe bet that Kirsten was named to the team over Paula. Kirsten seems to still be triathlon training while Paula seems to have moved on. So I have a feeling it might be the male athlete that was the odd man out that is appealing

Anyone have any updates???????

I emailed Triathlon Canada a yesterday...

"we’ve been delayed in our announcement.


Hopeful it will come out next week."

Kretz, Brault, Sweetland (Findlay is alternate)
Mislawchuk, Yorke (Jones is alternate)

Finally!

Curious to know what took so long.

Glad Sweetland and Yorke are getting a chance (Jones and Findlay had theirs).

Appeals process.

TriCan didn't want to announce until those were settled.

Sweetland gets another shot at a parasite in the shitty (literally) Rio water.

I don't know, Sweetland seems very accident prone. Beyond all her injuries/illnesses she seems to be prone to being at the wrong place at the wrong time, crashes, random injuries etc. To me it is a toss up Findlay/Sweetland as to which one will start.

True - they both seem to be delicate.

As is Helen Jenkins.

I'm curious as to who made the appeals, but I reckon those details won't be made public.

I would infer that it would be Kyle Jones and Paula Findlay, but perhaps one of those named could have been selected as a result of an appeal too?

I was referring to the illness she got from swimming in the Stockholm harbour. F-d her up pretty good for years.
Parasites and bacteria are a serious problem for ITU racers who must swim in some water that I personally would never go near.
Yeah, she's had a bunch of other issues... stress fractures and stuff. I can only speculate why...

As for Findlay, an enormous talent, but I've heard she is (was?) prone to over training.

Findlay is still young....she can be back for another 4 year run.
