The best two sets of points for each performer from the World championships in Hanover and the 3 Control competitions will determine the Olympic place.

National Coach John Beer commented:
'I felt Claire Wright and Kirsten Lawton looked World class, as can be seen from their scores. In the men Simon Milnes, until the last voluntary move 6, looked as if he could make individual final at European's. Gary was also looking good and given the 5 months to European Championships in also looks good for a final'.
