"National champions who have since achieved at least an IAAF 'B' Standard have been added to the team as automatic selections, with all other athletes laying claim to either an IAAF 'A' or 'B' standard considered for discretionary selection," Dion Russell, Athletics Australia chairman of selectors, said.

"I am pleased to report that we have selected the largest possible team from the athletes that were eligible and made themselves available for selection.

"This adheres to the Selection Philosophy of selecting the largest and strongest possible team to compete for the Australian Flame at the IAAF World Championships and ensures that the most athletes possible will compete for Australia in Moscow."
