Until recently, Ethiopia had not officially disclosed the list of athletes who met the qualifying times (minimal) for the men’s 1500m and 800m events at the Paris 2024 Olympics. To address this, they plan to leverage the athletes’ World Ranking points to secure participation in these prestigious events. World Athletics has engineered a database system to meticulously track and disseminate the outcomes of competitions, crucial for accruing World Ranking points, such as the Olympics, within specified timeframes. In furtherance of this endeavor, an online platform dubbed “Road to Paris 2024” is slated for unveiling in October 2024, aimed at facilitating the monitoring of athlete qualifications for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. In May 2024, the Ethiopian Athletics Federation announced the names of the national athletes selected to represent Ethiopia in both men’s and women’s marathons at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
