What is the Olympic 1500 meter qualifying time?

Answer 1

The women's Olympic 1500 meter record is 3:53.96 held by Paula Ivan of Romania set at the 1988 Games in Seoul. The men's Olympic 1500 meter record is 3:32:07 held by Noah Ngeny of Kenya set at the 2000 Games in Sydney.

Answer 2

In 2008, the qualifying time for the 1500m was separated into two categories:

A standard = 3minutes 39 seconds

B standard = 3minutes 43 seconds

An "A" standard time will get you an automatic entry, a "B" standard will only get you in the event if there are not enough A standard athletes registered to run the event.

The qualifying period is usually open for around 6 months prior to the games.
