Notes

edit
  1. ^ Alex Nelson replaced an injured Dwayne Grant http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/athletics/6950549.stm
  2. ^ Turner achieved the A standard, after the selection, meaning that GBR were now permitted another athlete in the 100 m squad. Kwakye, who was previously selected for the 200 m was then put into her favoured distance, 100 m, and was replaced in the 200 m by Freeman. http://www.ukathletics.net/press-centre/news-archive/august-2007/article-22/
  3. ^ a b Ohuruogu was selected, just 1 day after her drugs ban was finished.
  4. ^ Becky Lyne was originally supposed to compete, however injury forced her to pull out, just before the flight, and she was replaced by Meadows
  5. ^ Weir had to pull out, due to injury http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/other_sports/disability_sport/6947854.stm
