Athletics Qualification to Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games

Looks like this isn't the case for the men's 100m because in the official schedule there are 4 preliminary round heats, and then in Round 1 there will still be 7 heats (56 athletes). So the universality quotas in men's 100m won't affect those trying to qualify by ranking. This isn't the case for the women's 100m however which does not have a preliminary round and starts in Round 1 with 7 heats, same as men's round 1.

But then again, the Road to Tokyo page includes universality places into the total quota of 56.

Maybe they just copy-pasted stage schedule from Rio?

No they didn't copy and paste because the women's 100m did have a preliminary round in Rio, but not this time in Tokyo. If there is a men's prelim round in the official schedule with 4 heats and a round 1 with 7 heats, the only real explanation I can see is that those universality quotas won't be counted in the 56 for men's 100m. I don't know for sure of course but it's the only logic I can see in having that prelim. And it makes sense because the men's 100m is the one that will receive the bulk of the universality quota requests.

I have the impression that a lot of countries will not have a wild card, or maybe they will distribute more in other events

But if Round 1 includes qualifiers from the prelim, and has 56 total athletes, it would mean some of the universality spots would technically count into the 56 total.

 

But I still suspect it must be a schedulling error. Road to Tokyo page looks pretty definitive.

Will be interesting to see how it will work. But going off the Olympic schedule in both the Olympic website and world athletics, there will be a preliminary round in the men's 100m. Really doubt they would make that error since every minute has to be planned for and if there is a prelim, then there will be more than 56 quotas in the men's 100m.

So I just got an email from World Athletics in response to my question if unqualified athletes impact the 56 athlete quota in the men’s 100m and it’s as I suspected, they don’t impact the quota for that event:

 

Quote

Hi Daniel,

 

In the 100m the unqualified will not impact the 56 qualified by entry standard or world rankings.

 

Regards

 

World Athletics

 

Not sure what the case is for the other events.

    • How wonderful!   I met the national rowing (and beach rowing) coach of EST/LTU/LAT on the way to ice hockey one day, who's Canadian by the way. I also flew home on the same flight as JC Schoonmaker's mom and friends, so we chatted for a bit.
    • Yea I only used transit besides this Uber / bus to the airport and back. All the venues were at the end of the line, so it allowed you to speak with other fans/volunteers etc. I even met Corrine Stoddard's mom after the first session of short track on the way back, and told her to remember our conversation if she won a medal later in the Olympics. We know how that ended up... 
    • I used public transit the entire time I was in Milan.   My first day was a doozy, because I had to two flights to reach Malpensa, and then the train into town was delayed, and then I got confused a station and boarded a tram instead of the metro, proceeded to travel in the wrong direction, got off, walked back to the station, found the metro, got off a station early, walked around a kilometer to my hotel, and checked in.   My colleagues mostly took cabs upon arrival, but I deduced to take the frugal approach. That said, I was a true public transit professional by the time I left Milan.   I actually enjoyed my rides to and from venues, because I'd just chat up fans and volunteers from different countries. It helped me learn more about the city too.   
    • It's the olympics, sleep is for the weak!    The first day i got there i was on a 12 hour flight from l.a to rome (flight that left mid day), lay over, another flight to milan, uber to hotel, then right away to speed skating (1500m men), then after uber to hockey venue for women's gold final, then after the celebrations uber to the hotel, i ended up being awake about 36 hours that day, the next morning i thought to go sightseeing in the center of milan, but ended up sleeping until like 2pm..... and had speed skating/short track that night 
    • I tried to get onto the metro multiple times and gave up    I had just arrived the day of from Bangkok (12 hr flight) and was just exhausted and wanted to sleep 
    • Plus, you missed out on a potential metro ride with me, which is quite priceless in my opinion 
    • My hotel was very close to Rho so was easy to get there, but it was so far from the hockey venue that after the women's gold medal match it was so expensive to get back, and also the next day after the usa slovakia semis it took forever, the asshole driver took the city and not the freeway  
    • Uber cost me $224 CAD to get back to the hotel from the OC. It basically prevented me from buying tickets to a speed skating session 
    • Romania's national team coach, Mircea Lucescu, has died half an hour ago He was in hospital since March 30th, just before the friendly match against Slovakia. Unbelievable how the life can have such turns...in March 26th he was in Istanbul playing the WC qualifying play-off vs Turkiye and now he died.    Thank you very much for every moments you bring us in your huge career (he's on 3rd place in a most trophies won in career, after Ferguson and Guardiola) and may your soul rest in peace, Mr. Lucescu.
