Mattis is 13th for world ranking, so he will go. You either have to hit the standard or be the top 32 or whatever it is in the world rankings. Jagers is like 20 in world rankings.
I believe their algorithm takes into account average distance of throws, not just season PB. Mattis consistently throws farther than Jagers and has competed at the diamond league a bunch of times this ywar
It should be Mattis over Reggie. He threw in BS winds to get that mark, and his form clearly isn’t on par with the elite athletes to go and get a medal. I get Mattis isn’t exactly either, but Mattis beat him at trials, and he certainly (in my eyes) will be the better bet in the olympics
