Wumo 2,791 Posted March 13, 2021 #841 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Some results that will make @hckošice very pleased. Ecuadorean National Race Walking Championships, Macas, March 13 2021 Women's 20km Race Walk: Karla Jaramillo (1:29:59) Paola Pérez (1:30:06) https://www.worldathletics.org/competition/calendar-results/results/7163009 Spoiler I could find two different times for both athletes, but all of them are under the Olympic Standard. hckošice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshMartini007 2,131 Posted March 14, 2021 #843 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Can someone confirm in the universality quotas when they say "best ranked athlete" they mean based on the world rankings? If so, then we have a problem as the following nations currently do not have an athlete with a world ranking in any of the eligible events. To be fair, Bhutan and Vanuatu didn't participate in athletics in 2016, but for Mauritania and Tuvalu it was the only sport they competed in. Of course there is still lots of time for athletes in the above countries to get a world ranking This might not be a huge problem as 5/17 of these nations are already qualified and everyone except Tuvalu can participate in swimming. Also worst case scenario, I imagine the IOC will just give a quota rather than have a nation not compete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the IOC and WA didn't give much thought to this, because they know they can invite to compete whoever they want. If a nation doesn't have an athlete in the World Rankings, they can just invite the best athlete from the National Federation and that's it. Maybe this "best ranked athlete" is just a loophole in the rules that allows them some space for this kind of interpretations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon 1,676 Posted March 15, 2021 #847 Share Posted March 15, 2021 So the British have released a second set of qualification standards. If an athlete fails to reach the Olympic standard then these must be achieved before GBR will allow them to enter via the World Athletics rankings system Matej, rafalgorka and Benolympique 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
