Annalise Murphy of the National Yacht Club has been nominated by Irish Sailing for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics
As the Olympic Federation of Ireland (OFI) confirms its third athlete for Tokyo 2020 last week, Annalise Murphy, who was nominated for the team 11 months ago is still awaiting official OFI selection.
One of the reasons given for the termination of the trial then was that by nominating her now the Irish Sailing Board have ensured that team preparations can move focus to the Olympics .
Nearly, a year later, however, there is still no ratification of the silver medalist s place even though other athletes have been confirmed.
