@heywoodu Are there any extra requirements for the Dutch?

Nope, so besides Abdi Nageeye now also Bart van Nunen and the miracle that is Frank Futselaar qualified  

 

Björn Koreman might still try if there's a chance to have an official race somewhere, he would try this weekend in Poland but that got cancelled. Then there's Khalid Choukhoud who might try it as well, but that's about it - which is a lot more than what I expected, I hadn't really expected more than Nageeye  

 

Futselaar doing what Michel Butter in the end never could. Futselaar ran exactly the limit, Butter missed it by eight seconds in Amsterdam in 2015 in one of the more heartbreaking moments in Dutch athletics  (watch from roughly 1:54 for his last few 200 meters or so)
