Inseine...Para-Oly commentary with spoilers

Yes. One example here: 20k applications for 100 places with BA. At least the medical will be a little easier to pass than the RAF ones, which asses everyone at fast jet level and commensurately rules out most applications before they get close to a selection board.

I thought they’d closed those years ago. A mate I’ve not seen for years - ex submariner- got one of the last. He was a good swimmer and triathlete - silver AG at Beijing

Well what with Zoomers all wanting to be influencers or tech bros, they probably need to get them going again!

India definitely deserved that. 75% of the match with a man down and still held GB out.

I’m watching dressage. When the horses are chilling at an equine version of a party, and they ask each other what they ‘do’, do you think the the ones that answer ‘dressage’ get some side eye from the others? :smile:

Add that this year in my region (you can work it out) not one kid hit Gold standard which meant they could select essentially who they wanted. Unsurprisingly, a lot of the kids come from the same club. Which begs the question why is the Gold standard unobtainable!

Approx 2:12 4:25 for 170pts each and for gold standard swim/run 15yr old. The swim would have medalled at counties and been top 10 regionals, its from push start in trials also so will be 3 seconds faster in swim race ! That run is up there in age also, 4th on track in South of England Champs!
