In contrast to the general progress of the GB men, 1802 is the worst GB women top 10 total since 1870 at 01/07/24. Our #10 is Lily WR 295
They do not compare well and also currently have nothing like the general progression in the next dozen or so that our men have.
Jodie will hopefully rise again and Hannah in time. Apart from them, maybe say such as Marni, Allcia, Ranah, Ella and Emily App can make the top 300 in the future but how much further than that I feel is very questionable. I am also struggling to see further candidates.
I accept in part the notion that success can drive success and that happening to a degree with our men. But should questions be being asked about how much our women have fallen behind and the lack of depth?
Note: I have posted this again as a thread starter in the women's section as a probably better place for any wider discussion.
