I'm not sure it does as there's apparently too many downhill sections for it to be counted as a qualification event. @Josh has commented on this before, I reckon he'll have the answers. 

I’m pretty much in the unknown as well. But I saw an article on a Canadian athletics website https://runningmagazine.ca that explained that our athlete (Tristan Woodfine) competing at the Boston Marathon has to finish top five to qualify for the Olympics. I believe the same applies for all of the platinum marathons.

So the athletes only qualify through this by getting top 5 and not by achieving the time but finishing outside top 5?

That’s correct.

Boston is too downhill to count. But because it's a Platinum Label event, top5 qualify to the games because that's happens in all Platinum events.

 

 Weldu serves as an example or that. She didnt finnish top5 and despite doind the standar isnt qualified

Note, this is Athletics Australia’s first stage of team selection, more athletes will be added to the team in the coming months.
