It doesn't say in the article, but this article claims that you can qualify to the Olympics by placing top 5 in a World Athletics rated Platinum Label event. Since Sydney Marathon became a Platinum Label event in 2022 , you could already qualify to the Olympics through that race.

Oh okay. I only have a vague sense of these things due to family members being big into running.
