Haven’t read the article, does this mean its classed as an Olympic qualifying event?

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.
