COMMONWEALTH & EUROPEAN TEAM SELCTIONS ARE OUT - Have the correct decisions been made????
About this episode
This week Alex Sutton and Luke Withers dive head first into the chaos surrounding the Commonwealth Games and European Championships selections đź‘€
From shock omissions to confusing policies, the boys break down the biggest talking points coming out of Team England’s decisions, including why some swimmers booked their spot while others were left watching from home despite delivering at trials.
They discuss the complicated selection process behind the scenes, relay politics, returning athletes, junior swimmers being thrown into senior competition, and whether trying to race both Commonwealths and Europeans could end up helping or hurting performances this summer.
There’s also debate around Glasgow being prioritised as the “home games,” surprise names included for relay value, and the growing frustration around how difficult selection policies have become to understand for athletes and fans alike.
Plus: Danny Wiffen rumours, Gretchen Walsh breaking swimming history, Ryan Murphy’s return, and plenty of freestyle opinions throughout 🎧
