Each athlete has the potential to demonstrate further progress and this event is perfectly placed and timed with the Worlds in July. The athletes have a fantastic opportunity to lay a marker down and defend later in the year. Each opportunity to improve or defend a Tokyo qualification ranking could be crucial this time next year ahead of the final pre games qualification event in Dubai".
