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:
Yes it's unfair,but the whole Olympic qualifing is unfair! Most sports get 3 entries per event but swimming gets 2. Limiting the number of entries any country has is nationalistic garbage that is in opposition to the true Olympic spirit. In a rational world there would be one set of qualifying times & ANYONE WHO MADE THEM COULD GO.
