Aliya has officially retired

What a career!

I recall her winning Worlds 2010. She could do anything at that time.

Morgan, Kinsella & Gadirovas

Congratulations.

Many are disappointed that Beckie Downie was not selected. She would have been an ideal plus one competitor, but GBR did not earn a 5th spot for Tokyo.

Some are questioning the reasons WHY Beckie was not included.
