Aussies confirm controversial Olympic marathon team after ugly online war
Staff WritersThe controversy over selection policies couldn’t overshadow the joy for Genevieve Gregson who will become just the sixth Australian woman in history to compete in athletics at four Olympics having overcome the devastation of an achilles injury to make the team for Paris .
It sparked an online war and Weightman backflipped on a decision to taker the matter to the Court of Arbitration for sport. Genevieve Gregson ruptured her achilles during the 3000m Steeplechase Final in Tokyo “I definitely didn’t think I would get to this point and be as strong and fit as ever, but to look back now at the journey I’ve had, it’s been a special and exciting challenge for me. I’m so thankful this was the path I got to take post Tokyo.”
