Yes is it, but from what was said on commentary for the Seville Marathon those who already have the time beforehand are safe. This only applies to the men though as more than 3 women have got the qualification time. 

What do you mean in what world? We're higher ranked than them by six places and we have the twenty fifth best player in the world, this is just like us playing someone like America - we've got a very good chance. 

So do I, the Dutch can't go through after knocking us out the way they did.

I just put them in whether they've already qualified or not, it's not like you're posting false information if they've hit the qualification standard again. 

For anyone who wants them, here are the  and  qualifiers on the women's side:
 
 Azmera Gebru
 Josephine Chepkoech
 Magdalyne Masai
 Derartu Hailu
 Antonina Kwambai
 Tejinesh Gebisa
 Nigsti Haftu
 Fantu Zewude  

Having three big hitters going for the women's 100 back is a major help here, and if Peaty is even competitive (i.e there or thereabouts for a medal) then its plausibly game on. There are some good young sprint breaststrokers coming through (eg Bilbao), but my gut says Peaty will be OK, in that case almost everything turns on 100 fly, and specifically the form of Guy and Peters - Guy looked at the Euro short course (frankly a better barometer, in my view, than this odd Worlds of where GB hope to be) to have found some of his 2015 Mojo - if that's the case, he may step back from the medley relays, at least partially, to protect his newfound 200 free form.
 
I think this event was almost the GB banker last time - this time, I think the banker is the mens 4 x 2 free, and the men's medley may actually be stronger than the mixed. I still think if Peaty is even 95% there (I'd reckon he's about 80% atm but he knows he's gonna get a wildcard if required) then medals in both relays is likely and gold in either/or is possible.

Warra race from Stephens to take gold !! 

Qualifying through this is vital for us, as I don't think we'll get anyone through the individual qualifiers. 

The thing with this event, and the whole sport of surfing for that matter, is that it's so unpredictable and wide open that half the entries in each category have a realistic shot at getting a quota. 

Thankfully your "feelings" tend to be horribly wrong, so I think we're OK on this one. Peaty and Wilby are the only ones who are doing poorly, everyone else is either doing just as or better than expected. 

Can't wait for this, one of the most unpredictable events on the quality calendar. Hope  can sneak a quota. 

Used to swim Lancashire county as a kid and I can tell you it's one of the hardest county competitions in the country (it basically has all the best swimmers in the north west region), so to dominate the way she has is nothing short of incredible. Furthermore, if she'd have swam that in the 1500m this morning she'd have qualified 2nd fastest for the final, even if she doesn't get the selection time I hope they give her the nod purely for the experience as she could very well make the final in Paris. 

72nd Beppu-Oita Mainichi Marathon  
 
February 4, 2024
 
Men's:
 
 Derese Workneh 
 
Women's
 
No qualifiers

The following athletes will represent  in the women's marathon at the 2024 Olympics (men's athletes will be decided at the end of the qualification period):
 
Fiona O'Keeffe
Emily Sisson
Dakotah Lindwurm

Great Britain 
 
 Run Run Run - The Libertines
 
 
 
 
 

It's less about the Olympic quota and more about the likely increase in financial support that they would get from UK Sport if they were able to sneak through to the quarter finals. 

I dunno, I'd probably wait until your federation says summat as they seems to be the ones who are confirming it for their respective countries. You can look at the results on Final if you want, which shows that what the Wikipedia says is wrong. 

I will also be there for the start.
