Some of you may realize you don't have the talent to get the standard, so what does it take to get in via world rank? Our interns have crunched the numbers.

Outside of the Universality place in the women's marathon, these are all pretty respectable. The Universality places in the 800, while maybe not quite Olympic caliber, are still competitive times.

The 326 marathon was run in Bhutan. This chic is an ultra runner who has never raced outside of Bhutan. My guess is that her plane ticket is the only money the country has ever spent on athletics. A Bhutanese woman ran the NYC marathon one year and set national records at every road distance despite running 318.
Here are the top 3 from that race:
1. Kinzang Lhamo, 3:26:42. 2. Goma Pradhan, 3:31:37. 3. Ohuchi Haruko, 4:10:58.
Paris will probably be a huge pr, but then she will probably disappear as there is virtually no opportunity to compete in Bhutan.

The 10K are also fairly slow. Like they will be lapped at least once in the M race and probably 2-3 times in the W race

Is there a reason why some names are omitted next to the performances listed in the article? For example:
Women’s 800:
Assia Raziki, Morocco
World Ranking: 47
Best Performance (In qualification period): 2:01.36Universality Place [name, nationality omitted]
World Ranking: 558
Best Performance (In qualification period): 2:09.87LRC response: The error has been corrected.

I think bhutan sometimes sends athletes to the south asian games,or asian championships.

Is this really necessary?
Have the interns compare the brojos to the top women?

To be fair to him Martin Kiprotich has ran 28:08 on the roads this year and 27:28 downhill race too. I think he may try to pace the first few laps like we've seen from the less fancied Ugandans in recent champs
