Dom Cunningham on missing Olympics

GBR Men had 3 selection events, all behind closed doors. (Same as other Olympic teams.)

Only 4 gymnasts compete Tokyo.

Dom was not picked.

The reserves have not been named, so far as I know.

Of course in most other sports like basketball, team selection is even MORE subjective. I wouldn’t want to be a selector.

It’s important to listen to the process from Dom’s point of view. He’s very passionate.
