What should I do if I tie for eighth place in the 200-meter preliminary round of track and field competition?

There are several ways to deal with this situation:

First of all, the athletes who are tied will play a play-off and the winner will enter the final;

Second, if there are nine runways in track and field, all nine events can participate in the finals and finally be admitted to the top eight;

Third, the finalists can be decided by drawing lots.
