ChubbyCheshire (U839481) posted May 6, 2008 I know it would be hard on Gail Emms, in her final Olympics, but should GB be even considering Robertson/ Emms for the Olympic Mixed Doubles Team ? - with only 12 weeks to go, and Robertson to be out of training for 6 weeks due to an operation on his ankle, the chances of them being on form is slim. Perhaps it's time to give some of the new blood a go. Gail would still be in the Womens Doubles. I know it's a tough call but Team GB need to pick using their minds and not their hearts.
