Perhaps they're all at the CompassSport Cup
rocky wrote:I interpret that as saying: "We're going to focus on turning our nearly medals into actual medals". This year those nearly-medals happened to come from sprint, sprint relay and forest relay, and in all three cases the athletes involved are young and aspirational so it is reasonable to think that with year-on-year improvements there are medals we can win. I doubt we will see wholesale changes to the focus or structure of the performance program geared towards these specific medal targets.
Personally, I think it's slightly short-sighted to think these are our only medal prospects - in 2014 & 2015 we had far more success in the forest than in sprint disciplines at WC, EOC and WOC level
