I don't think we have, reading a few attackpoint logs in the lead up, the talk was mostly JK related with the odd selection race comment. I've never really thought about this before but is the point at JWOC to go and win medals, or to aspire those with the ability to realise their potential? Probably both but I'm sure BOF wouldn't complain with 'trundling around mid-pack' and then winning WOC in a few years. I don't know JWOC histories well but have any of the GB WOC medallists won medals at JWOC? The only medal I can remember is Alison O'Neil

BOF didn't even write anything about junior elite results at the JK on their own website,
