You've all missed the real, political, reason why she was left out. She's from Northern Ireland and that's not in Great Britain, so she couldn't be selected for Team GB

What, you mean the team officially known as Great Britain & Northern Ireland? Yes, that figures.

Sorry, Great Britain and Northern Ireland is known as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, therefore Team UK. Her non-selection was influenced by a secret cabal of Republicans within BC, determined to help derail the Peace Process by creating friction and resentment amongst the Unionists who will naturally feel outraged by their non-inclusion in the name of the UK team

considering the team sprint is changing to the format of the mens (4 riders 3 to finish) I would say she is retiring because her comments will not endear the coaches to using her as the fourth rider.

She rides the team pursuit not the team sprint.
