Very well said, Ed. All good points. Christian had not been in post long enough to have a huge influence except I would guess on relays but a review is needed. Too many under-performed and too many suffered injuries.
Really clear, considered and valuable insights here. I suspect the success elsewhere (swimming, eventing, BMX) has taken the spotlight off athletics but the questions raised here will likely become more widely discussed in the coming months.

Thanks Neil - good to hear from you again
