Athletics at the 2016 Summer Olympics – Qualification

For the athletics competitions at the 2016 Summer Olympics, the following qualification systems were in place. The list has been updated as of May 1, 2015. Qualification ends on July 11, 2016.

Qualifying standards

Different from the previous Olympics, a National Olympic Committee (NOC) may enter up to 3 qualified athletes in each individual event if all athletes meet the entry standard during the qualifying period. An NOC may also enter a maximum of 1 qualified relay team per event. NOCs may enter athletes regardless of time (1 athlete per sex) if they have no athletes meeting the entry standard. This makes it possible for every nation to have a minimum of two representatives in the sport.^[1]^[2]

The qualifying time standards may be obtained in various meets during the given period that have the approval of the IAAF. All approved outdoor meets and indoor meets with the exception of 100 m, 200 m and 110 /100 m hurdles races are eligible. The qualifying period for the 10,000 m, marathon, walks, and combined events starts from January 1, 2015 to July 11, 2016; for the remaining events, it is from May 1, 2015 to July 11, 2016.^[2]

For the relays, a maximum of sixteen qualified NOCs shall be entitled to each event. The top eight teams in each event at the 2015 IAAF World Relays (held in Nassau, Bahamas on May 2 and 3, 2015) will guarantee a spot on their respective NOCs for the Olympics. The remaining half in each event must be selected according to IAAF World Ranking List as of July 12, 2016 based on the aggregate of the 2 fastest times achieved by NOCs during the given period.^[3]

In addition to the qualifying standards below, marathon runners finishing in the top 20 of the 2015 IAAF World Championships or in the top 10 of any IAAF Gold Label marathon within the qualification period are also treated as having earned the A standard.^[2]

The NOCs are still allowed to select athletes using their own rules, on the condition that all of them have made the qualifying time. For example, the United States selects athletes based on the result of the 2016 United States Olympic Trials event, but has a policy of entering every athlete so qualified. Sweden only enters athletes good enough to reach at least the eighth position, based on an assessment by the Swedish NOC.

Due to the suspension of the Russian Athletics Federation by the IAAF, due to widespread Doping Violations, Russia currently cannot qualify for these Olympics or other International Competitions and unless the suspension is lifted, Russia will be unable to send an Athletics delegation to these Games. ^[4]

The IAAF Qualifying Standards are as follows:^[1]^[2]
