Apparently not

It's going to be so annoying for athletes from other countries who would've made it if not for these universality places taking up spots from the rankings.

 

There are a bunch of Greeks who are borderline right now, so if any of them miss out because of these universality places, I'm going to be so angry.

 

 

Also it looks like World Athletics is starting to remove injured athletes from the Road to Tokyo lists. I noticed in the women's 100 hurdles that the two Germans (Dutkiewicz and Roleder) are no longer listed. Koleczek from Poland is still listed for now. I haven't checked other events.

Just letting you all know of an update to my Road To Tokyo tool.  The data capture process now reads performances (IAAF Top List) as well as the IAAF World Rankings.  The filtered rankings, e.g. top 3

And athletes who have qualified in multiple events but won't start in a particular event

Well, it was clear from the rules that universality spots would come before ranking spots. After all, IAAF/WA couldn't keep giving out hundreds of spots more than the allowed quota as usual, while every sport is asked to make cuts - the standards to reach for automatic qualification are thougher but quite fair given the number of athletes who reached them.

Insane running in the US. Holloway's 12,81 and Benjamin's 46,83 and Thomas' 21,61....no idea which one is the best, they are all rather insanely fast :d 

 

Probably I'd go for Benjamin's race because he got so close to such an old world record (and Thomas didn't really get close to the even older WR, although she could have gone faster had she not celebrated with 30m to go, one might imagine).

 

What an evening of running, unbelievable.

For me it is fine. I even think that all ranking places should be removed and reallocated to small nations. It is the Olympics after all, they should award much more universality places, each NOC should be able to have at least 1 M and 1 W in Athletics. I mean there a possibility to qualify by achieving standards, you have the standard you go, if you have not, then you have only 2 options, either sign quickly for a meeting in central asia or coninue training and prepare for the next games.

 

having 50+ athletes from one country and at same time many countries still without single participation is sad for me. This is not the world champs, this is the Olympics

Personally I find it quite impressive. No matter how many of their top athletes get caught, the others just keep swallowing whatever they can find. I just wish the rest of the world would exclude the US from international competitions until they develop a working anti-Doping system. 

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

      Yes agreed, resetting it would help make it more dramatic as no one would be running away with it. We could also set it that there is a small reward for ranking higher after each round… maybe they start the next round with a “head start” so they bring a few points into the next round? But starting from scratch each round might be cleaner

      I like the concept a lot. My only worry would be that the nations doing the best individually would also end up at the top here as teams are only made up of pairs. Whereas in a bigger team it gives the nations not doing so well individually to have another chance if they are lucky enough to be placed in a good team. Any way we can balance it?

      I thought about accumulating, but for higher drama it may be reset like in cycling track elimination races

      Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

      2026 Winter Olympics - Very Early Predictions

      For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.

      If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?
