QUALIFYING STANDARDS FOR BEIJING 2027 ARE OUT! 🇨🇳

World Athletics has published the qualification framework for the 2027 World Championships in Beijing, continuing the hybrid model that combines entry standards with world rankings. Rankings now carry more weight than ever before.

The system is designed so roughly 40% of athletes qualify via entry standards and now 60% via world rankings, which is a deliberate shift toward rewarding consistent performance across a full season rather than a single peak result.

Four ways to qualify:
– Achieve the entry standard during the qualification window
– Finish in a designated position at select competitions
– Receive a wild card
– Qualify via world rankings position at the end of the ranking period

Qualification windows:
– Marathon: November 3, 2025 – May 2, 2027
– 10,000m, race walks, combined events, relays: February 23, 2026 – August 22, 2027
– All other disciplines: August 23, 2026 – August 22, 2027

Wild cards go to:
– Defending 2025 world champions
– Winners at the 2026 World Athletics Ultimate Championship
– Winners of the 2026 World Race Walking Tour and World Combined Events Tour
– Leading hammer performers on the 2026 Continental Tour
– Winners of the 2027 Wanda Diamond League

Marathon pathway: The top five finishers at Platinum Label marathons during the qualification window automatically qualify, as do winners of Gold Label marathons held in 2027 up to May 2.

The world rankings formula now places more weight on results scores and less on placing scores, which is seen as a deliberate move to level the playing field for athletes with limited access to high-ranking competitions.

Sometimes the most meaningful leadership lessons are the simplest.

Erin Matson shares a great story about receiving a 30-second voicemail from Roy Williams.

“Erin, I just want to tell you that I’m proud of you…I enjoy watching your team…You’re doing amazing things. Just keep on keeping on.”

Sometimes the most impactful thing a coach can do is take 30 seconds to let someone know: I see you, I believe in you, and keep going.

Those moments may feel small to the leader, but they rarely feel small to the person receiving them.

The wait is OVER 🎉

Last year, Vincent Ciattei won the 2025 USATF 1 Mile Championships, but because the World Athletics Road Running Championships, which were going to be held in San Diego, were cancelled, he wasn’t able to represent his first U.S. team.

One year later, Ciattei got his second chance to make a team and took full advantage of it with a second-place finish Tuesday night in Des Moines to punch his ticket to Copenhagen in September.
