A day after the International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) revised the entry standards for the 2016 Rio Olympics, USATF announced that it would also amend its standards for the U.S. Marathon Trials.

The IAAF announced on Thursday that 17 changes were made to the entry standards for the Summer Games, including the marathon entry which was amended to 2:45:00 for women and 2:19:00 for men. The announcement caused a bit of a social media stir in the track community as several athletes were granted Olympic standards as a result of the changes.

As of Thursday morning, the IAAFÂ’s revised Olympic entry standards were slower than the U.S. Marathon Trials entry standards. Prior to the amendments, women needed to run faster than 2:43:00 and men needed to run faster than 2:18:00 in order to qualify for the Trials in February. 

On Friday morning, USATF announced that they would also be making a revision to the entry standards, adjusting the women’s “B” standard to 2:45:00 and the men’s to 2:19:00.

ATTENTION: Due to the change in #Rio2016 entry standards for the marathon, USATF has amended its B standards for #LA2016.
