:eek: 2005 World Track and Field Championship “A” and “B” Standards
Dec 11, 2004
The IAAF qualification standards for its 2005 Helsinki World Championships are slightly harder in many events, especially some women’s field events (pole vault, long jump, most throws) and in some men’s field events.
:mad: Field athletes generally appear to have no reason to be happy about these revised entry standards (although the ridiculously tough men’s long jump A-standard has come down from 8.20m - by 1cm :rolleyes: )
