David Weir Misses World Championships

David Weir has had to withdraw from the 1500m Wheelchair race at the World Championships in Osaka due to illness.

 

Brian Alldis (British Wheelchair Racing Association) of Bury St Edmonds will replace him in the event.

 

Brian’s call up is by virtue of the international qualification process, which was effectively a race-off in Canada with the top 8 athletes selected to compete in Osaka. The ninth placed athlete in that event – Brian Alldis – was named as reserve and as a consequence will now compete in Osaka.
