Darya Klishina has been granted exceptional eligibility for Rio. She joins Stepanova as that now makes two Russians eligible.

Alfonz Juck our commentator and one of the most known athletics manager in the world said that it´s not over yet at all, apparentlly there already a lot of Kenyans receiving Turkish citizenship in the past weeks and months, and just waiting for competing eligibility from IAAF

At least there can be just 2-3 athletes per event per nation...

Pretty much, there is possibly one other Russian that could be granted eligibility, a female pole vaulter based in Italy

But she wasn't in that list of 68 Russians that applied for eligibility....

 

I really hope Lutkovskaya will be accepted though, because, well, just search for her Instagram and look at her photos

And Yasemir Can will do the half marathon as well, because winning only the 10 and 5 km is for pussies

 

 

 

From her athlete profile - " This isn’t the same Yasemin Can who is entered for the 10,000m in Amsterdam. She is younger and was formerly Vivian Jemutai of Kenya. "

Yes, you're a little late to the party because someone else posted that as well  

 

Nonetheless, you're of course still welcome to the party
