In Which Event Did The Most Athletes Achieve The IAAF World Standard?
We break down the total number of athletes to achieve the 2017 IAAF World Championship standard.
Every year the IAAF sets world championship standards. As we reported earlier this summer, some were harder than others.
As we get ready for the 2017 IAAF World Championships -- which start Friday in London -- we decided to see how many athletes in the world achieved the standard this year in non-road events. It turns out both the women's 200m and 10k had the most athletes hit the standard at 115. The women's long jump had the fewest athletes hit the standard with only 16.
