With your approach Hamish wouldn't even have been there.
Did Ian not achieve a 2400+ performance just before the Worlds at Scarborough? That would give a good indication of the level of opponent he faced at the worlds. I think it was fair to say that when it came to selections Ian was an easy one.
I thought all the juniors performed well at the Worlds this year. There were no failures and some really really good results.
