Very hard to tell at this stage, as everything (like the selection criteria, and who are the selectors) is hidden from the public...
Sadly most of the public is fast beginning to think its a little bit fishy that the UK's poster boy for TKD, and the soon to be 'ranked no.1 in the World' has been left off the squad.
Only time will tell.
Signed. I really want to see him in the Olympics.

I kind of wondered about the communication process. Who tells Aaron Cook "we are not picking you". How does that work? Do they say that early enough to allow an appeal?
Unfortunately for Aaron Cook this is how it is in allot of the TKD World. If you don't play the game. Conform to what the National Governing Body wants they will punish you. This is his punishment. We can only hope that the BOA of GBR rights this horrible wrong. Aaron had to leave National program of GBR. They were hurting his game! He was not going to win under that program! He went with Master Remarck and he had a phenominal year. It hurt the pride GBR National Program and they are acting in this petty way. This happens in the USA. Just ask Charlotte Craig? Stop training with the Lopez and no more Olympics.
Charlotte trained with hyon lee then switched to jimmy kim one or two years before the olympics. When did she train with the lopez family?
About 6 months before the 08 Olympics!!!! She even lived in Sugurland for awhile. Went back To Jimmy Kim and they don't pick her division. Don't train with a National team coach and they wont pick your division for the Olympics.
