WC withdrawals

[Matt1]

Each of Ladji Doucoure, Germaine Mason and Christian Olsson have withdrawn from the WC, the altter due to insufficient form apparently. Toby Sandeman (GB 200m) also out.....

Damn. Mason was coming into form at Crystal Palace but I thought he looked uncomfortable on the run-up in Stockholm. I wanted to see Sandeman run after his win at the Euro U23s. He has a really good attitude.

The Dutch team is very depleted - no Kiplagat, Kibet, Smith, Ruckstuhl, Hak etc.

Svetlana Feofanova has withdrawn too.

Great. Another blow to the already weakened men's high jump. Silnov also out. I hear reports that Thornblad is nursing a hip injury.

Are these technically withdrawals? Are teams actually submitted yet?

If we're just listing athletes who were once selected by their countries but have now announced themselves non-starters, then the Aussie list includes:

Jana Rawlinson
Craig Mottram
Nathan Deakes
Tamysn Lewis (from 400m - still doing hurdles and relay)

Dutch team further depleted by Miranda Boonstra's absence. Set 3000SC NR of 9:38.40 in late May (Nijmegen), then fractured her foot during the KBC/Heusden-Zolder steeple event on 18. July.
