Aaaand it's gone for our runner, just first three walkers achieved enough good time to take spot to Olympics.

Seemingly the on-screen clock was wrong :wall:, all the times were slower...

Uh...some new changes to the World Athletics Technical Rulebook.

 

Quote
  • Technical Rule 1 (was IAAF rule 100) – World Championships and Olympic Games no longer excluded from competitions where events may be held in an alternative format
  • TR 6.4.7-8 (was 144.4) – Physical support by designated individuals and pacing by lights or similar added to list of allowable assistances
  • TR 17.15.3 (was 163.15.c) – Athletes in track races may carry water or refreshment providing it was there from the start or supplied at an official station
  • TR 20.8 (was 166.8) – It is recommended that in races longer than 800m where rounds are conducted, the number of athletes qualifying by time (as opposed to place) should be minimised 
  • TR 25.17 (was 180.17) – The time allowed for trials across all field events, with more than three athletes competing (or for their very first trial), is again one minute (as was the case prior to 2017)
  • TR 54.7 (was 230.7) – In walks, the term “Pit Lane” is renamed “Penalty Zone” 
  • TR 56.3.2 (was 250.3.b) – The required length of the “unhampered” run at the start of cross country races is reduced from 1500m to 300m
  • Competition Rule 32 (was 261) – The 20,000m, 25,000m and 30,000m are deleted from the list of events for which world records are recognised

Oh shit. Not that absolute horror of a semi-knock-out format where the 3rd best of the day can win in events like long jump :cry: 

 

Gold with 8.10m, silver with 8.65m and bronze with 8.54m, it is entirely plausible.

This is a good one though.
