    Has there been a final determination on what it will take the make the Olympic team?

    There was a big kerfuffle about the new 2:11:30 standard and whether or not the USATF would accept athletes placing at Majors and Gold Label races in lieu of meeting the time standard. Based on the LRC write-ups about Boston it sounds like it has now been determined that the USATF will accept athletes with the place standards and not just the time standards? Does anyone have any confirmation on this?

    (Talking here about the men because we have a lot of women who have hit their respective standard).

    There was never a question of USATF accepting athletes placing at majors and gold label. That was never part of the argument on either side. You need to reread. There was an argument about accepting athletes off of world ranking, which really only pertains to the track events. There are now 6 women and 2 men that have the Olympic standard for the 2020 trials.

    So how long is the window to hit the standard?

    By your explanation Rupp still needs it too?
