1:44.42 for Justin O’Toole in the men’s 800m at the International Abendsportfest Pfungstädt, new PB and Tokyo Q!
 

4 men are going to Tokyo in the 800m! 

Isn't 3 the max?

Arop has a wildcard spot as the reigning world champion so he doesn't count towards the 3 max quotas.

3:33.86 for Max Davies in the men’s 1500m at the Sankthanshaugen! (actually I’m not sure what the meet is but…)

1:42.57 for Marco Arop at the Brussels DL Final! He was injured earlier this month, so a good sign heading into Worlds.
