Goals have been clearly set for some time so those who qualify to the standards we’ve set will know they’re capable of returning from Athens having achieved something – they’re not simply going to the Olympic Games as excess baggage.
This is a quote from a very Henryk Lakomy, Sports science & fitness director at British Swimming.
So they feel that Mark Foster is excess baggage ! :mad:
He could win a medal, but i guess we will never know and that is one less medal for Britain. Ah well, there is always the breaststroke. Which seems to be the only stroke that UK swimmers can do well !:mad:

Have i read this right ? Bosquet from France cannot swim in the olympics because he made the qualifying time in the final and not the semi final as required ?
What an insanly stupid rule. Who are the people that make up this kind of stuff ?
God protect us from this beuraucratic nonsense.
Each country sends the best swimmers in each event, qualifying time must be swum in the 6 months before the Olympics, 2 fastest go.
What is so difficult about that ?
