Qualification Summary
Each National Olympic Committee can enter a maximum of 8 athletes (4 men and 4 women) with a maximum of one athlete per each individual event. As hosts, Japan will be given the maximum quota should they not qualify normally while 4 quotas (2 men and 2 women) will be decided by the Tripartite Commission. The remaining quotas will be decided through the Olympic Standings released on April 6th 2020, the Olympic Qualification Tournament and the continental games.
Quotas to be decided by an approved Continental Games will go to athletes whom won gold, but have not yet qualified to the Olympics with a maximum of 3 for Africa and Pan America and 2 for Asia, Europe and Oceania. Should quotas remain it will then go to the silver and then bronze medalists. Should there be no approved games the quotas will go to the highest ranked athlete from the same continent.
