Congratulations to those selected, and hard luck to those that missed out. The selectors had a tough job in several classes - but it's a good indication of the close competition that exists for spaces in those teams which is a great thing for everyone involved - that's what pushes us all to get better and perform our best. As always, if you've missed the nod this time, don't get too down - there's always more competition, and the opportunity to come back stronger in the future.
If any of the above are unable to take their place, also please let me know asap - as mentioned, we have alternatives in many classes.
Once again, big thanks to the selectors: Mike, Ruth, Steph and Darren. Really appreciate the effort and diligence they put into the job. They take a lot of time to gather the data from all the selection races, and don't come to a hasty decision - they genuinely deliberate over the selections for several days, and often meet several times to review.
