22/23 Funding Lists

[Occasional Hope]

They introduced it last year, for young athletes with potential: https://www.britishathletics.org.uk/...programme-wcp/

Yes. And it seems Jeremiah Azu has joined him also. The BBC article says he is London based but I thought he was based in Italy?

Also looks like Jaz Sawyers has left Lance Brauman's group and is now coached by Aston Moore as is Naomi Metzger. And Awuah has joined Gary Evans (who coaches MHS and Steven Gardiner) which could e a great move for her.

Disappointed no coach listed for Pozzi. The self coaching thing didn't work for him last year and doesn't seem advisable for a technical event.

What is the confirmation level?

[Rickster]

Gemili moving to Neita’s coach should be a good move

I believe the new Coach was Reider Assistant until Aug 2021.

Gemili moving to Neita’s coach should be a good move

[drobbie]

seems about right to me - most of those removed have underperformed or been injured or pregnant for 2-3 years, ugen has never performed outdoors, prescod has been hit or miss, gemili deserves another year or so to get back to form

[Occasional Hope]

I am surprised that Adam G he is even on relay funding. Expected Jeremiah Azu to be moved up and where is Reece Prescod?

Probably rewarding Gemili for finally leaving Rana Reider, but I agree he did not impress anyone this year.

So at Podium level out go: Callum Hawkins
Abigail Irozuru
Lynsey Sharp
Lorraine Ugen

And in come:

Matthew Hudson-Smith
Daryll Neita
and
Cindy Sember (up from Potential)

Ugen will feel hard done by after World Indoor bronze, but no other surprises there.

At Potential level:

In:
Molly Caudery

Out
Melissa Courtney Bryant
Jessica Turner
Jamie Webb
Laura Weightman


Oliver Dustin is very lucky to stay on funding, perhaps the powers that be know something we don't about why he was so rubbish this year.

Still no 400 men on relay funding, I see, but AHW and Charlie Dobson appear on the lower and quite small Confirmation list:

Jeremiah Azu
Ellie Baker
Max Burgin
Piers Copeland
Charlie Dobson
Alex Haydock-Wilson
Holly Mills
Jade O’Dowda
Ben Pattison
Tommy Ramdhan
Matthew Stonier

Josh Zeller probably not included anywhere due to his NCAA status.

[CAML]

Agree with the Prescod call. One legal sub 10 in over 3 years and poor in Tokyo and Eugene. I hope this is the wake up call he needs.
