The decision by the governing body of athletics to suspend Olympic qualification until December due to the coronavirus outbreak has received a cool reception from some Tokyo hopefuls.
World Athletics announced on Tuesday that qualification for the Tokyo Olympics, which will now take place in July and August next year, would restart on Dec. 1, subject to the global situation returning to normal.
"Pretty disappointed about this decision," former Olympic steeplechase silver medallist Evan Jager posted on Twitter.
"Even if COVID-19 clears up in some countries and it's safe to compete, (it) takes away a major motivation to run fast this year.
"I understand freezing the world rankings but I feel achieving the Olympic Standard should still be on the table."
Measures to control the coronavirus have forced many athletes into self-isolation, while most major meets and marathons in the first half of the year have been postponed.
Athletes need to reach certain qualifying marks to be available for selection for the Olympics by their national federations.
