Where there is no UKA Selection Standard in the following table, invites from World Athletics will not be accepted in these events.

Faramir 184 Posted Tuesday at 08:42 AM #915 Share Posted Tuesday at 08:42 AM (edited) Usually people say it's a matter of costs (I don't believe it), but given that at the Olympics accomodation for athletes and a certain number of personnel is provided by the organization, what do NOCs/National Federations have to pay to send an athlete a part from the travel?

Not that I agree with their policies, but I think it’s more a case of federations wanting to focus all their resources (coaches, training camps, masseuses, back up admin staff etc etc) on those with chances of medals and finals than spreading them out to athletes without any hope of progression There’s obviously a dollar/euro/pound cost involved, but the countries who set extra barriers to Olympic qualification are generally quite wealthy so I don’t think that’s the overriding issue (even if they claim it is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodge 943 Posted Tuesday at 09:28 AM #918 Share Posted Tuesday at 09:28 AM If it helps anyone’s internal calculation will not be taking quotas (earned by entry standard) in the women’s 200m and the women’s 800m (Athletes will concentrate on one event only) Josh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is also said that harder qualification standards is helping athletes overachieving. I honestly think that both arguments are BS, and that if a top athlete needs this kind of conditions to achieve anything he really is not a top athlete to begin with.

Jur 638 Posted Tuesday at 09:50 AM #920 Share Posted Tuesday at 09:50 AM Yulimar Rojas is set to be the flagbearer for Venezuela in the opening ceremony. However, she's injured with ¿Aquiles? and can't compete. So I'm very sorry for the woman in the World Rankings place #33 cause she's going to be missing the Olympics cause a country decided to fly an athlete to Paris for a publicity stunt and not competition.
