2016 Summer Olympics From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article details the qualifying phase for shooting at the 2016 Summer Olympics. 366 quota places for the Games are entitled to the shooters coming from their respective NOCs, based on the results at designated ISSF supervised Championships subjected to the ISSF rules from August 1, 2014, to March 31, 2016, while the remaining twenty-four are available to the eligible NOCs under the Tripartite Commission Invitation to get a total quota of 390. Host nation Brazil has been guaranteed nine quota places with one in each of the following events: 50 m rifle prone, 25 m rapid fire pistol, 10 m air pistol (both men and women), 10 m air rifle (women), trap (both men and women), and skeet (both men and women).[1][2]
This section tabulates the heads of qualification in a form suitable to be filled in as events progress. The full qualification rules[1] for shooting published by ISSF contain intricate conditions too lengthy for inclusion in Wikipedia. |
Quota places can be obtained at the 2014 and 2015 ISSF World Championships, the 2015 ISSF World Cup series, and the designated Continental Championships or Games during the qualifying period.[2]
