=== World rankings ===
The [[IAAF World Rankings]] system was introduced for the 2018 season. An athlete's position within the ranking will be determined by points scored based on their performance and importance of the competition. The points will be considered for eligibility for the World Athletics Championships and Olympic Games.<ref>{{cite press release|url=https://www.iaaf.org/news/press-release/iaaf-official-world-rankings|title=IAAF: IAAF Official World Rankings first step in fundamental changes in athletics{{!}} News {{!}} iaaf.org|website=iaaf.org|access-date=22 July 2019|archive-date=9 April 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190409041936/https://www.iaaf.org/news/press-release/iaaf-official-world-rankings|url-status=live}}</ref> This system will affect athlete participation, which has typically been determined by national bodies, either through selection panels or national trials events.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.srf.ch/sport/mehr-sport/leichtathletik/leichtathletik-neu-mit-weltrangliste |title=Leichtathletik neu mit Weltrangliste |last=agenturen/pwi |work=Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen (SRF) |access-date=3 November 2017 |language=de-CH |archive-date=7 November 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171107033052/https://www.srf.ch/sport/mehr-sport/leichtathletik/leichtathletik-neu-mit-weltrangliste |url-status=live }}</ref>
