 John Heymans has been talking about how he wrote a computer script to qualify for the Olympics in only 4 races

https://www.runnersworld.com/nl/nieuws/a46591071/heymans-olympische-spelen-chatgpt/

 

Basically, he expected he'd run around 13:15, and he was going entirely for the world ranking qualification pathway instead of the time limits. He entered all athletes who ran 13:15 in the past 5-6 years, ran their results through his script to basically see how many points they got in which races. Some more statistical analysis and stuff was done on the data, and in the end the script gave him a handful of races as best options to score an optimal amount of points...which is what he did, and so he rose on the world ranking all the way to a qualifying spot with only 4 races

Not to put a dampener on the story but he ran the qualifying standard so his rankings chase wasn’t needed

True, although that came afterwards. He reached his goals, but of course didn't just stop running then, and then also ran the standard because he performed quite a lot better than he had expected  

 

Still, it's cool he scripted his own functioning program to select the smartest races to race (where a lot of athletes told him it's just a matter of racing the highly labled races to get more points, but that's of course not exactly how it works).

Hey everyone,

 

I'm doing a major check on all lists. At first I compared my own tables to all names mentioned here. Now I'm on the Road to Paris, and I will include here the "missing" quotas I find there. Some are old and either they were not added here or I missed them, sorry if I ended up double-posting them

 

As I'm going through them through each discipline and not competition, I thought it was easier to post like that. If anyone has any tip on how to better format the posts, please let me know
