Please note that BF is unable to publish nominations as all public information regarding European Games nomination and selection is strictly embargoed until 1^st June as part of the conditions of participation in the Games.  Nominated athletes, their families and their coaches are also operating under this embargo.

Athletes meeting the qualification standard who have not been nominated have been contacted directly by BF and have a right to appeal (see here). For those athletes and any other athlete who has grounds to appeal, please note that the appeal deadline will be 2 working days (48 hours) from 5pm on the date of this news post.
