Apparently Tipperary Liadhnan has a cellulitis infection that “took a turn for the worst yesterday”

Because the competition has not started, can an Alternate be moved into a team slot?
Based on the article, they will pull Karen or Becky to fill the spot. So, they will have 4 team members, and one individual.
If that’s true, I hope they pull Karen in because I really want Becky and Comet to have a team pressure free shot at an individual medal.
Anyone know when the deadline was to put in one of the alternates?
The deadline was Tuesday, I believe.
perhaps I am totally wrong but…
I thought they had sort of done away with the ‘team’ until the last-so the pressure isn’t as great, then the countries can use the best scores?
I had heard that once the entries list was published on Tuesday, no substitutions could be made.
What a shame for everyone.
I am with you NCRider - let Becky ride as an individual.
I want Becky and Comet to win the individual Gold medal - I have never been much of a team player anyway!
Go Comet!!!
Karen and Mandiba have been added to the team. Becky will still ride as an individual.
