It's possible they are waiting for spots #31 and #32 to be confirmed by the respective NOCs before they publish it. I doubt a reallocation deadline has passed, especially since athletics starts later.

In that case both girls are Japanese so I don't think the Japanese NOC would refuse those quotas. Greek girl is #35, so she might miss out by one spot in the end. Shame, but she only has herself to blame for choking under pressure after throwing over 60m five times last year as a 17 year old and only being able to do it once when it counted for the rankings...

Funny.    There is already a lot of speculation as to the legitacy and whether European Athletics will ratify the mark. From what I've seen, there is questions as to whether the wind reading (+1.9) was accurate, or if done correctly.  Also, the blocks apparently were not equipped with false start sensors and videos seem to suggest a rolling start.   Finally, no one was at the start line to even judge the start.

On that basis the chances of it being ratified are slim to none.

Lol the runner-up ran 11.09s.

A rolling start?  

 

Too bad, I kinda like Wilson, but yeah this is not remotely realistic at all

female race walker Anežka Drahotová cleared from doping and most likely will compete in Tokyo?? Finally some good news for Czechs

Unfortunately  Alex Quinonez's doping ban has been confirmed. If he does not get fast CAS appeal and turn over the case, he will surely miss the Games
