In order to qualify to run the 100 meter dash in the Olympics and represent the United States, a sprinter must qualify to run in the U.S. Olympic trials which means you have to run a qualifying time in order to be eligible to participate in the trials. The qualifying time must be a result of an electric timer (accutrack time) no hand held times are allowed for qualification for this event. Then you have to place in the top three in the finals of the 100 in the trials in order to quaify to represent the U.S. in the 100 meters in the Olympics.
The Olympic limit for the men's 800 meters is typically set by the qualifying standards established by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF). As of the most recent Olympic Games, the qualifying time is generally around 1:45.00, although this can vary slightly depending on the specific Olympic event and year. Athletes must achieve this time in official competitions to be eligible for selection. Additionally, performance in major competitions and rankings may also influence selection.
Any National Olympic Committee is permitted to enter 3 athletes for a single event if they meet A qualification standard or only 1 athlete per event if they meet B qualification standard. For women's 800 meters run A time was 1:59.90 and B time was 2:01.30 for 2012 summer Olympics.
8am GMT is 11am Kenyan time, while 8pm GMT is 11pm Kenyan time, so the time difference remains constant at 3 hours.
The A Standard is the "automatic" qualifying time for an event. The B Standard is the backup qualifying time. To be guaranteed a spot in an Olympic event, you must both earn a slot from your country (number of slots may vary by event and by country) and have achieved the A standard. If there are not enough participants around the world who have qualified that way, then competitors with B Standard times may be added to "make the event competitive."
Kenyan time is 3 hours ahead of GMT. Therefore, 8 AM - 8 PM GMT is equivalent to 11 AM - 11 PM in Kenyan time.
8 AM GMT is 11 AM in Kenyan time. Kenya is 3 hours ahead of GMT.

In Olympic events, 'q' and 'Q' refer to the qualifying criteria for athletes in various competitions. A 'q' denotes that an athlete has qualified for the next round by finishing in a specific position, typically among the top competitors in their heats or rounds. In contrast, 'Q' indicates that an athlete has advanced to the next round by achieving a time or score that meets or exceeds the established qualifying standard.
