Some controversy has emerged around Olympic team selection, which might well land up in court, but the entire issue could have been avoided with a little patience.
It was revealed this week that Wayde van Niekerk had been selected for the 200m event at the Olympic Games and would not compete over the 400m distance in Paris next month.
Weve already gone into detail about how this could be the best decision for everyone, as it strengthens the national relay teams and boosts their medal chances.
In order to open the door for Van Niekerk in the 200m, however, it looks like Luxolo Adams and Sinesipho Dambile will miss out on selection.
Theres nothing really wrong with this decision, but the way its been handled is a little unfair.
