Apparently, the IAAF will be changing the number of rounds that 'elite' athletes run at major champs, starting with this year's World Champs.

'There have been mixed reactions to news of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF's) rule change that will see elite athletes running only three rounds in the 100 and 200 metres at the World Athletics Championship this summer and the 2012 London Olympic Games. It is also noteworthy that athletes, who have not attained the "A" or "B" qualifying standard, will be allowed to compete in a "preliminary" round prior to the three main rounds.'
