In the current situation, taking into account the restrictions on travel, Government Guidance and UK Sport Guidance the decision to select any athletes to represent GBR at FIE & EFC international events will be taken in the first instance by the ADP GBR Selection panel (replacing the individual Weapon Selection Panels).
