Olympic hopefuls learn qualification standards

Jamaican athletes now have a clearer picture of the road to the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games after World Athletics released its qualification system, outlining the entry standards, ranking requirements, and qualification windows for athletics competition. The governing body has retained the dual-qualification pathway used at recent global championships, with approximately 40 per cent of places expected to be filled through the attainment of automatic entry standards and the remaining 60 per cent via world rankings.
