From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Qualification system

[edit]

A total of 70 triathletes (35 men and 35 women) will qualify to compete at the games. A nation may enter a maximum of six athletes (three per gender). Triathletes will qualify through various qualification events and rankings in 2014 and 2015. The host nation Canada, automatically qualifies a full team of six athletes. There will also be three wild card spots per gender awarded. An athlete can only qualify one quota spot for their country.[1]

21 slots per gender will be awarded using the ITU Points list. Athletes must be in the top 250 of the said list to receive a quota. If there isn't enough athletes in the top 250 to meet the quota, the spots will be transferred to wild cards.[1]

  • Both declined Argentina quotas from the Pan American Sports Festival and South American Championships were won by the same athlete, who won a quota at the 2014 South American Games. These two slots were reallocated to the points list qualifiers.
  • Only 22 and 17 female athletes were in the top 250 of the ITU Points List, and thus the last remaining spots for each event became a part of the wildcards.
