A bit harsh on Dina there, Amelia. She thought she had a medal chance, the team obviously thought she had a medal chance, so it was right for her to travel. I can understand why she got her explanation in first, though. Admittedly I could have done without the emotional performance, but that sort of thing is just not my style.

I think the qualification times are harder for an individual athlete compared to relay squad athletes. You could argue that it was a waste of money sending half the team because they didn't have a realistic medal chance.
