Athletics Qualification for Summer Olympic Games 2016

Incredible women's 10000m race in Stanford. So many Olympic standards were reached.

Sadly Margarita Hernandez and Marisol Romero will not be selected as part of the Mexican to the Olympics, unless they manage to run under 32:09.00

That is just a stupid decision. What's the difference of 6 seconds in 10000m race.

 

Having 31:45 as a selection standard for example might be understandable. But 32:09 instead of 32:15...

I know, this is stupid, but they have done for almost all events. In men's 100m for example the difference is just .02 seconds 

 

Here's the selection criteria

 

This stupid rule almost also prevents the current record holder in men's hammer throw (a 22 years old who has break 4 times the national record since last year) to be formally selected to compete.

German discus thrower Robert Harting has suffered knee and chest injuries and may be doubtful to compete in Rio

I wouldnt really call his status "doubtful" ...

He planned to make his first competition on May 15th and now he will make his first competition at the beginning of June (Diamond League in Rome), from there on he has 2 more months until Rio to get in top shape. Overally Germany is having a lot of bad luck this year in athletics, Harting, Schwanitz and Storl are all injured. Franz and Schrader are out of Rio.
