World Athletics Qualification System Explained

  • Dual Pathway: Qualification for the 2025 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo will follow a dual-pathway system, with 50% of athletes qualifying through entry standards and the other 50% through world rankings.
  • “Road to Tokyo 25” Tool: An online tracking tool has been launched to help athletes, media, and fans monitor the qualification progress for the championships.
  • Real-time Information: The tool updates athlete performance and qualification status across all disciplines.
  • Federation Selection: The tool does not indicate which athletes have been selected by their national federations. Final entries will be announced closer to the championships.

Similarly, the qualification system has been adapted for the World Athletics Indoor Championships Nanjing 25, and the World Athletics Relays Guangzhou 25.
