Athletics at the 2016 Summer Paralympics – Qualification

From Wikipedia - Reading time: 4 min

For the athletics competitions at the 2016 Summer Paralympics, the following qualification systems were in place. Qualification began on 15 October 2014 ends on 14 August 2016.

Allocation of qualification slots

[edit]

There is a maximum of 1100 athletics qualification slots available; 660 male and 440 female. In general, qualification slots are awarded to the athlete's National Paralympic Committee (NPC), not the individual athlete. The exception is with the Bipartite Commission Invitation slots, which are awarded to the individual athlete, not the NPC.[1]

Each NPC can allocated a maximum of 48 male qualification slots and 32 female allocation slots (excluding Bipartite Commission Invitation slots). The slots cannot be transferred between gender; any unused slots are re allocated via the Bipartite Commission Invitation Allocation method.[1]

Each NPC may enter up to three athletes in each individual event, one team of up to six athletes (but no less than four) in each relay event, and up to six athletes in each marathon event as long as no more than three athletes are competing in the marathon as their sole event. There is no limit on how many events an individual athlete may be entered in, as long as they have achieved the 'B' qualifying standard in that event between 15 October 2014 and 14 August 2016.[1]

Qualification system

Qualification slots are allocated in the following order:[1]

Rio 2016 Qualification Rankings Based on athlete ranking for the period 1 April 2015 to 1 April 2016, the three highest ranked athletes in the top 5 of each individual event who have yet to qualify will receive one qualification slot for their NPC. Only one slot may be awarded per individual athlete; any remaining slots will be allocated via the AQS Qualification. 270 228

Only one slot may be awarded per individual athlete. If more athletes meet the AQS in each gender than the total number of slots available, each NPC's slot allocation will be scaled down. Any remaining slots will be allocated via the Bipartite Commission Invitation. 151 16
