Agate CAUNE (the youngster from Latvia that held a 100m+ lead in her 5000m heat with 1200m to go and finished 4th in heat 1) has a Q next to her name in the heats while Francine NIYOMUKUNZI finished 9th in heat 1 and does not have a Q next to her name BUT NIYOMUKUNZI competed in the finals and CAUNE did not.
Any insights?

At the start of the women’s 5k announcer stated Caune was injured and couldn’t compete. Niyomukunzi was put in in her place.
Caune withdrew with an injury and Niyomukunzi took her spot as fastest non-q, as per the new replacement rules
