Looks like the Cross-Country rankings will give quotas to the 10,000m.

 

Also the marathon qualification has begun since Nov 1st, the following athletes have met the standard already (I'll only list a max of three athletes per nation, only applied to Ethiopia and Kenya). Unsurprisingly, a bunch of nations have qualified their first athletes

Are these athletes 100% qualified though? What if many more athletes will run better times?

 

There is a maximum quota of athletes per event (80 for marathon), so potentially even an athlete who scores the world record today could loose the quota if 80 more athletes run a better time after this?

If you have the entry standard you are safe

So the quota per event can be exceeded?

No the numbers are capped and only 50% of the places are available to those who meet the entry standard.

 

 

Quote

Athletes will be able to qualify in two ways for the Paris 2024 Games, with 50% of qualification places based on achieving the entry standard for an event within the qualification period, and the other 50% based on the World Athletics Ranking within the ranking period.

So I guess that means if there's too many that meet the standard they will take the fastest and the rest need to qualify via ranking.

If so, there are no athletes officially qualified until the very last day to obtain the standard.

No that is not correct 

it was the same in Tokio

50% is just an orientation or expectation 

[JoshMartini007 2,820]

The 50% rule is more of a suggestion. The hope is that the standards are so difficult that only around 50% of the quotas will be filled and the rest will be filled by the rankings.

 

It's similar to the "Road to Budapest"

[dullard 744]

The requirement for teams to qualify relays at the 2024 World Aquatic Championships in Doha has been abandoned.

 

Quote

 

Now, qualification will revert to a more traditional process in which the top three finishers at the July 2023 World Championships in Fukuoka will qualify instantly for Paris a year out from the Games.

 

The remaining 13 berths in each relay will then be decided by the best times set either at Fukuoka or Doha, meaning teams that miss the top three in Fukuoka can still qualify for Paris without sending their best swimmers to the Middle East. 

 

Nations on the borderline of the top 16 will still have to calculate after Fukuoka whether they believe their top 16 effort in Japan is strong enough to resist challenges at the last-chance saloon in Doha but the top 12 or so teams will now feel much more confident that their summer 2023 efforts will get them to Paris.
