Jodie Stimpson , who I really liked, lost fair and square to Helen Jenkins. She knew this when she hit the finish line of the last race being considered for olympic selection and burst into tears.
Sophie Caldwell I thought should have been picked.
But I think your assessment of British Triathlon not being tied to performance is somewhat off. Results bear this out.
Also, I think they have a policy of not turfing athletes straight away when injured.
I have no inside information. Just what I observe.
I’m sure Barclay izzard will be gone soon and Max and Ben added.
