Not really sure why you think Lisa terstch made a case for Gwen
Have you looked back at Lisa Tertsch results
She was 4th in the grand final and 9th in Paris test event. If anything, Yokohama was a bad race for Lisa.
Lol
Check who said in the ITU thread that tertsch will have won a world series race within 2 years time ...
So I can insure you I know tertch s results for many years.
But also
26th in Valencia Gwen won I seem to rember
23 rd Hamburg
You also saw that millner was a lot better in Cagliari than Yoko
And then the Yoko female winner was 25 th or so yesterday.
And for sure nobody is to consider millner and Jorgenson for the relay but
What is your problem with the 1 percent chance to be considert in the meeting ....
They have to consider every scenario .
And then in my mind come to the conclusion Gwen's bike is not good enough 99 out of 100 races
But at the same time Katie's run seems not good enough for a medal either and her swim was not bombproof yesterday .
I was interested to see Katie race but she was given a favour to race and has not really made use of it .
I appreciated her fighting spirit but that was not really better than Kasper in Yoko.
If it was me I would go with Kasper she earned the third slot and nobody made really a better case for herself,To sub her out . And she had a clear front pack swim and bike in the last 2 races.
Should they need an alternate
IAM of the opinion selectors should get as little involved as possible and if knowbody makes a clear case, you go with the people that earn the slot.
