Following the relevant selection procedural review, these positions will take effect from May 2023 to 31 December 2024 which will include the 2024 Olympics and Paralympics to be held in Paris, France.

It was pleasing to see a lot of interest in these important positions, and the quality of applicants was very high. The EA Board and HP Committee would like to thank all those who applied for these positions and are pleased to announce the following appointments to National Selector Panels.

The Chair of each National Selection Panel shall be determined in consultation with the Panel members in order to establish an appointment by consensus.
