So what is a “repechage round,” you may ask?
The World Athletics Council approved the format change ahead of the 2024 track and field competition at the Paris Olympics.
The specifics are pretty simple.
Olympic track and field athletes who do not automatically qualify through the first round of action in the 200m, 400m, 800m, 1,500m, 100mH, 110mH and 400mH will be granted an additional round to secure their spots into the semifinals.
Athletes who automatically qualify through to the semifinals will continue their medal quest, with a potential three rounds of competition. Athletes who do not qualify initially, however, will have as many as four rounds.
Each athlete in those event disciplines will be guaranteed at least two rounds of competition.
World Athletics President Seb Coe said of the format change, “the repechage rounds will give more exposure to our sport during the peak Olympic period and will be carefully scheduled to ensure that every event on our Olympic program retains its share of the spotlight.”
