Let's be honest though. Those runners on the bubble would most likely not make any noise at the world championships - so what's the point of letting them in? If you're struggling to get into the field because of your on-the-bubble times what chance do you have at worlds? Zero.


The fact that the meet goes a long way to selecting the WC or Oly team is secondary to the fact that this is the national championship (or should be, at least).

No matter the likelihood of one of the last qualifers making the team, the fact of the matter is that cronyism, favoritism, corporate influence, or even the appearance of any of the above should be something that we aim to avoid.
