Now this is just selfishness.. another athlete could have took her place and had an experience even if they didn't win a medal...

Absolute rubbish. I didn't see you say this about Henderson when he was injured and picked for the England squad.

I had very little interest in the Euros.... I don't think Henderson is that good. I don't think he will be picked for the World Cup Qualifers.

The irony being you questioned Biles commitment yet never achieved her heights. Tough guy.

So a BTEC or City and Guilds in asking questions but not answering them. At least I achieved something and have declared it.

Still no response from you

What a sad reflection on society, that people like Mottie and Transam and Doug99 and Old Salt think it is perfectly OK to be spiteful and cruel.

Haha. So you achieved something sporting wise - at a level way below the one which you criticise. Ah well I can say you probably are a better amateur sportsman then me. Put that on your trophy cabinet.

This trend will now see more 'contracted' sportspeople deciding not to turn out when the going gets tough.

Yes I saw hard as nails Ben Stokes taking time out recently - the same Ben stokes that took on the Aussies almost single handed and beat them - the same Ben Stokes that took the game to New Zealand and showed great courage - the same Ben Stokes who put his career on the line to protect a gay couple from a bully.

When the going gets tough eh. Clueless.

Good on Ben Stokes...... He's given plenty of notice and gives a chance to someone else.......
