Women's 100m seems like the least likely of this list.

World Athletics reaches a strong position on protecting women’s athletics.

Situation is complicated, but it seems to be fully effective, National Federations must also implement the WA rules, which :GBR does. Expect all sorts of kerfuffles, ructions, stramashes & stooshies when it is the :USA‘s turn.

In USA it's the usual problem with NCAA which technically is amateur and they don't have to recognize professional sports' regulations?

Yeah, but really World Athletics is very much looser than FIFA so it is the same issue in every country, because WA has nothing to do with FISU, Commonwealth Games, Asian Games etc etc..

I hope WA forces them to adopt the new regulations in order for meets to be sanctioned and count towards worlds qualification.

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce runs in her son’s School Sports day.  She makes no concessions to the opposition.

    • There will be specialized double sculls...just not for an NOC if it is entering singles specialists.   Either enter 2 singles specialists, or 1 XD specialist pair.   But they can in theory compete in both events, I guess, if they qualify...our top M, I think, does both.   But there are 17M, 17W, and 30 Pairs allotted in the quota, so I don't think the intent is that every singles entry will be in doubles.   (Perhaps this gets to fall in line with Weightlifting, where due to max entry quota, an NOC can't enter in every event, even if they have the best athletes...here, unless you have a pair who qualifies in both.)

    • I read the Olympic qualification documents for weightlifting. A country can have the opportunity to send a maximum of 4 athletes in one gender, but the conditions are very strict.
    • world champion Jessica Schilder opened her season up with 19.78 in France.
    • wait! what???   so, there won't be specialized double sculls, but those boats would have to feature 2 single specialists if a Nation wants to enter 2 proper singles M+W??? tell me I misread the expalaination...
    • Yeah, they do get broadcast pretty regularly.  I remember even back in Bode Miller's day they would show the training.
