Athletics 2018 Discussion Thread

IAAF should focus on getting statistics and results and everything in order, which is taking forever after they took over All-athletics..

is it clear how they will treat injured athletes or will they just disappear after a while from the list?

That would it make very difficult for some athletes with injuries in 2019/2020 to qualify.

Also what if someone does not have 5 results in 12 months?

In general I actually like the system, but don't get the categories of competition, they seem weird

Injured athletes with less than five competitions are not listed. I looked for Cindy Roleder, who was injured in 2017, and didn't find her anywhere.

Yes, I also found out even if you have for example 5 results in 60m hurdles, you are not listed as you need at least one result in the main discipline (100mH)

In most disciplines you need 3 results in main events. Exceptions are only the long distance runs and the multi events.
