When will World Athletics update qualification status based on withdrawals?

They have already closed the ranking last week. Any eventual withdrawals should be replaced by next in line athletes, pending their respective NOC confirm the spot and athlete.

So the update will not come on the Road to Tokyo website?

I believe they surely will update the site when something will change. but that's just my logical guess. I am not the one who do that ranking.

Omar McLeod didn't make the team. Apparently the Jamaican champs final was held at 8 am local time?

 Zuzana Hejnová - 400 m Hurdles is out ..... She was trying to get the Achilles ready but she just said on her social media that is unable to compete and she gave up the Olympics with thoughts to get ready for Paris 2024.

One of the sadder 'doping' stories recently, I'd say. First things first, it is entirely her own fault and nothing can take that away, but it's only human to not be able to deal with the death of a parent and lose control over yourself in a way that's perfectly fine for a non-athlete, but sadly not for an athlete.

 

One of the few cases in which I can actually feel some sympathy for someone who tested positive (same with a lot of East German and Soviet athletes who were doped/drugged from when they were only teenagers), even though like I said it is of course 100% on her and her punishment is sad, but correct.

Sad at it may be, that is a rather weak bit of reacting from McLeod....I mean, surely he didn't run his semifinal the night before alone, and surely he wasn't the only person running the early morning final?

I don’t think I was given or granted a fair opportunity to make the team with this ridiculous schedule 

How about those who did make it? All of those athletes had to run their final in the morning, and probably knew so beforehand...
