The World Athletics Council has approved an addition to the regular competition format for the Paris Olympic 2024 Games, introducing a repechage round to all individual track events ranging in distance from 200m to 1500m, including the hurdles events. Olympic fans can buy Olympic Athletics Tickets from our website. Athletes who do not qualify by placing in round one heats will have a second chance to qualify for the semi-finals in the new repechage format. This will replace the previous system of athletes advancing through the fastest times (q) as well as top placings in first-round heats (Q).These events will now have four rounds: round one, repechage round, semi-finals, and finals, with schedules varying depending on the event. Because of the new format, every athlete competing in a repechage round will have at least two races at the summer Games 2024.
