Third at the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials, it remains unclear whether or not Korir will represent the U.S. in Paris.
After three months of uncertainty, Leonard Korir still doesn’t know his Olympic fate. But as of this morning, it’s possible that the third finisher at the 2024 Olympic Marathon Trials will not be running the Olympic Marathon on August 10 in Paris. That’s because on May 8, World Athletics, the international governing body of track and field, published an updated list of qualifiers for the marathon.
His performance at the trials put him 67th on the list of 80 potential qualifiers. But the spring marathon season meant that others from countries that didn’t already have three qualifiers could surpass him, either by breaking 2:08:10 or passing Korir in the rankings . Korir made two attempts to improve his chances. On March 17, he started the Lisbon Half Marathon. He would have needed to come close to breaking Ryan Hall’s U.S. record of 59:43 to get enough points to better his ranking.
