Yeah, posted about that
here, as someone mentioned there are placing opportunities at many races for her. The IAAF gold label contains many obscure ones like this past weekend's Seoul marathon and something in Lisbon, haven't looked to see who qualifies from there but I can bet it ain't many big names. Gwen could easily hit the placing at one of those if she travels.
There is some speculation that race directors at Chicago, NYC etc. may limit the amount of elite non-US participants in order to allow US athletes to place in the top ten, I am not sure if there is any kind of rule against that or if it really is their complete discretion but that would also hurt professional marathoning as a whole.
At any rate, I don't believe Gwen will need to hit the standard but she will certainly try, or she will just get a placing. For those interested, here are the IAAF Gold Label races where a top 5 works. I am assuming the 10ks are allowable but not sure. Haven't read the full IAAF release on it. (couple on these are WMM which means top 10 for those)
