This culture of waiting for the trials to make the team will not apply this time round. |
We are trying to diversify by introducing combined events and we think the Commonwealth Games should be a good starting point. |
We asked athletes' managers to forward names to us and they have done that. It is now up to coaches to decide who is fit for the event. |
We hope to discuss the issue in the next executive committee meeting and once we have agreed we shall make the recommendation to the council before we reply to the request. |
We may however make a few exceptions, especially for those athletes who failed to turn up at national championships because they were either ill or out of the country. |
We received a letter from the USA Track and Field two weeks ago but we have yet to meet and discuss the matter. |
