This is consistent with policies implemented in recent years for major championships. Achieving the "A" standard virtually assures selection but meeting the 'B' standard in an event where no athlete has met the 'A' will allow the athlete to be considered for selection but not guaranteed. 2001 IAAF World Championship Qualifying Standards	Peter Coghlan photo by Ricky Simms
