FORMER 10,000m world champion Liz McColgan says the current British Athletics elite selection is “way too sprint and relay biased” and believes endurance athletes should be part of a separate funding group.
McColgan’s reaction comes off the back of the governing body’s announcement of the athletes it will fund for 2016-17. One of those athletes who was not included on the list of athletes to receive National Lottery funding was McColgan’s daughter, Eilish (below), who reached the Olympic 5000m final in Rio.
