Absolutely fantastic news.

I agree, its brilliant news

Yes, it's going to be interesting to see what he does differently. Yogi has done a brilliant job over the years but the decision of which horses should go to the Olympics this year was not the best decision.

Team selection was NOT Yogi's responsibility.

Ok, if you say so. But he definitely selected our horse when he went to the Europeans.

The Performance Manager can advise, but has no vote when it comes to team selection. There has been a selection panel and board of selectors for years now.

Great news, looking forward to seeing how he works

Excellent news .

Delighted about Chris Bartle!!!

I think PM had a very strong role...as per

The PM will attend all selection meetings to inform, advise and assist the Selectors but will not
have a vote to safeguard the relationship between the PM and the athletes. Although the PM
will not have a vote, he/she will, in extremis, retain the power of veto over the selection panel’s
selection decisions. The PD and a representative of UK Sport and BOA will be invited to attend
all Olympic Selection meetings but will not have a vote.
