Qualification Summary

Each National Olympic Committee can enter a maximum of 18 competitors (9 men and 9 women) with a maximum of three athletes per individual event and one team of three athletes per team event. As hosts, Japan was given eight athlete quotas to use in any way they want, in addition to whatever they qualify normally. The remaining quotas will be decided through various methods, specifically the Team Ranking List, published on April 5th 2021, the Individual Adjusted Official Rankings, published on April 5th 2021 and through the zone qualifying events. Nations qualifying through the Team Ranking List must be ranked in the top sixteen.
