COMMONWEALTH GAMES GOLD COAST 2018 – SPRINT SELECTION
There are a lot of emails going around about meetings,
standards, athletes etc., I know a good number of them are from me! So to help
consolidate all the information and hopefully formalise properly for the
purposes of good governance and both JTC Committee and Commonwealth Games
Association I have drafted this note.
THE EVENT
The Gold Coast 2018 Triathlon has been changed to a Sprint /
Team-Relay event, and not “Olympic distance” . People wishing to participate in
the Team-Relay event must have taken part in the Sprint event.
This has caused us to re-think who might go, and the
standards and KPIs for selection and targeting performance. It may also affect
our training plans, training camps, and preparatory races/trials in the period
up to Gold Coast 2018.

POSSIBLE CRITERIA
This is up for debate, but we need to agree soon to give
athletes a fair understanding of what is expected. I looked up the UK national
sprint champs as a guide
It seems reasonable as a standard that Commonwealth Games
Gold Coast 2018 athletes are within 10% of being the national champion for
their country?

NEXT STEPS
I propose that there is a meeting of JTC Committee to review
and approve the standards, athletes etc., which are then written up and
presented to the Commonwealth Games Association before the end-November.
