@Rafa Maciel @intoronto I believe World Athletics can invite athletes to complete in disciplines, so I'm pretty sure he got wildcarded in. But I'm not completely sure. 

yes, Seb Coe recently said they can't do without their top stars, therefore a place for Olympic and World Champions will always be reserved through wild cards if necessary (as long as they don't steal a place from any teammate, of course)

Some welcome rule/competition format changes here (mostly for the better in my opinion).

Not entirely convinced, the middle/long distances qualification will be now only on positions and not time rule is a good idea.

 

Now when everyone will know that only top 6 qualify, and times from previous heats do not count, we can have some really slow long heats/semifinals runs, since everyone will save energy only for the finish...

We are seeing these in FISU this week.  Some VERY slow starts.

 

Will predict now that “running under protest” will be a complete mess.

Yeah, all the middle distance heats & SF will be run at funereal pace then before the usual mad dash with 200 meters to go

You can thank the Gods that the Worlds aren't held in the first half of August here, it might as well be another Aquatics Worlds for us instead of Athletics. I mean, the situation is nowhere near as bad as in Slovenia, but still, it's constantly raining, it's windy, it's cold. The worst weather I have seen in August in recent years. There was a huge storm in Budapest last night. Hopefully it will get better in the second half of August.

I can swap for 10 days the 35+ we have been getting here in the last month.

Damn I would take any non-lethal rainy day over that

Anna Kiełbasińska is officially out of the World Champs.

 

You can also stick a fork in our women's 4x400 relay since Święty-Ersetic, Baumgart-Witan and Hołub-Kowalik ain't gonna be here either
