I know for Europe it's follwing rule, and I think it applies for the african team as well (but of course the african championships instead of the european champs)
"In principle the winners of the respective events at the European Athletics Championships in Gothenburg have been selected for Team Europe, except where these athletes are from one of the other three European nations represented at the IAAF World Cup (Men - France, Russia, Greece, Women - Russia, Poland, Greece). In that case, the next best placed available athlete has been selected." Best wishes Tom Tomas Magnusson Solothurn, Switzerland ============== Does anyone know how qualifiers are selected for the World Cup this weekend in Athens, and whether Marion's being cleared of drug charges would enable her entry, if otherwise prepared?
