# Talk:Jamaica at the 2008 Summer Olympics

The convention for the rank in track athletic events is to record the position in the heat, this is different than for e.g. swimming or field events where the overall rank (vs all heats) is given. This is because qualifiers for the next round are decided differently in the two sports. In swimming qualifing competitors are decided only on a time basis, so if, e.g., heat 1 is is faster than heat 2 it is possible that all the competitors from heat 1 and none from heat 2 would get through to the next round. However in track athletics qualifiers for the next round are decided by the first X athletes in each heat getting through, i.e. at least X athletes from every heat will get into the next round. Therefore the results for track athletics events in this article should be recorded as the position of the athlete in their heat only. Cheers Basement12 (T.C) 01:36, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
