The Peer Pool leaders are currently working to update the respective peer pools for the 2024 campaign and are focused on those who competed at the highest levels of the sport from 2006 to 2014. The updated lists will be posted when available later in July. Another key update to the selection process is that the eligibility age for Hall candidates was lowered to 40 for Open and male-matching Mixed competitors and to 38 for Women’s division and female-matching Mixed competitors.
