Lyndsie Fogarty's appeal against her non-selection in the LK2 500m for Athens was today dismissed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

Fogarty's dismissal clears the way for Susan Tegg to join Paula Harvey in the recently allocated Ladies K2 500m event in Athens. 

With the verdict still in the balance, Susan had a long and nervous trip to the airport this morning awaiting the final decision that would enable her to compete with Paula in the event. Needless to say, she is both relieved and excited at the prospects ahead of her and even more enthusiastic to prove herself.

The Women's K2 500m will take place on Tuesday August 24 (Day 11) of competition, giving the girls some time to train and acclimatise to the hot and humid conditions of Athens.
