B | CANBERRA, Australia -- Ultramarathon runner Pat Farmer ended a 14,400-kilometer (8,950-mile) run at the central Australian sandstone landmark Uluru on Wednesday after a seven-month journey to raise public support for the creation of an Indigenous advocacy body in the constitution.Australians will vote on Saturday at a referendum that would enshrine in the constitution a so-called Indigenous Voice to Parliament, a mechanism for Indigenous Australians to advise lawmakers on policies that effect their lives.Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was at Uluru, which is an Indigenous sacred site also known as Ayers Rock, to welcome the 61-year-old runner’s arrival.Albanese said he had “utter admiration and awe” for Farmer’s commitment for the cause which opinion polls suggest is unlikely to succeed.“No one has done more than this bloke and I am very pleased to welcome him here at Uluru,” Albanese said.Farmer said his first glimpse of the enormous rock rising from the flat Australian wilderness at a distance of 40 kilometers (25 miles) brought a tear to his eye.“I’m glad. Very, very happy to be at this point in time, this point in the world’s time where we start to acknowledge Indigenous communities right around the world and the significance of that culture,” Farmer told reporters.The former lawmaker's run began in Hobart on the island state of Tasmania on April 17 and traversed every Australian state as well as both mainland territories.Uluru has special significance in the campaign to create the Voice as a means of acknowledging Indigenous Australians in the constitution.The Voice was recommended in 2017 by a group of 250 Indigenous leaders who met at Uluru. They were delegates of the First Nations National Constitutional Convention the then-government had asked for advice on how the Indigenous population could be acknowledged in the constitution.Indigenous senator Pat Dodson, the government’s envoy for promoting the Voice, joined the referendum campaign on Wednesday for the first since taking medical leave in April for treatment of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.He said in a National Press Club speech he remained confident that a majority of Australians would vote for the Voice despite polls showing its popularity had slid in recent months.A “No” decision would be a backward step for Australia after the High Court ruled in 1992 that Indigenous Australians had land rights that predated British colonization and after the Australian Parliament apologized to the Indigenous population in 2008 for past injustices, Dodson said.“Do you want to go forward or do you want to go backwards or do you want to do nothing? Do you want to look yourself in the mirror and have pride the next day, or have some doubts and uncertainties and even an increase in shame? ” Dodson asked voters.While recent opinion polls suggest most Australians oppose the Voice, a poll published Wednesday found 59% of Indigenous respondents were in favor.That support had slipped from more than 80% supported suggested by polls published early this year.The latest poll published in The Sydney Morning Herald newspaper was based on an online survey of 420 Indigenous voters between Sept. 22 and Oct. 4. It has a 4.8 percentage point margin of error.Indigenous Australians account for 3.8% of Australia’s population. They have worse outcomes on average than other Australians in a range of measures including health, employment, education, incarceration and suicide rates. Statistically, Indigenous Australians die around eight years younger than the wider community.。世界田联在发布的声明中说，预赛中没有按照小组名次直接晋级半决赛的选手，将通过“复活赛”争夺晋级名额，而不是按照现在的方式——以最快的成绩排名决定剩余的晋级名额。按照现在的做法，以小组名次直接晋级的选手在成绩表上以大写的Q标注出线，剩下的通过成绩排名晋级的选手以小写的q表示，以后小写的q将不再出现。在刚刚结束的世锦赛男子百米比赛预赛中，苏炳添在第二组中跑出10秒15，排名小组第五。根据规则，预赛每个小组前三名直接晋级，其他选手按照成绩排名，前三位可递补晋级。最终苏炳添在非直接晋级选手中排名第三，获得了半决赛资格。
C | 女子百米选手葛曼棋也是通过这种方式，进入了半决赛。世界田联透露，新的规则适用于200米、400米、800米和1500米、女子100米栏、男子110米栏和400米栏，之前这些项目赛制为预赛、半决赛和决赛，新赛制在预赛后加入“复活赛”就变为四轮比赛，可以保证每名运动员至少可以在参赛过程中跑两枪。新规则将不适用于男女100米比赛，因为百米比赛已经在预赛前就有一轮预选赛，原本就有四轮比赛。
