    • Judo

The top 18 athletes in each division directly qualify, though each NOC is subjected to a limit of 1 judoka per division. If a NOC contains more than a single athlete ranked in the top 18 of the world ranking list, the NOC can decide which of their athletes obtain the quota places.

    • Tennis

Each National Olympic Committee (NOC) could enter 6 male and 6 female athletes, with a maximum of 4 entries in the individual events, and 2 pairs in the doubles events.

For the singles competitions, the top 56 players in the world rankings on June 7, 2021 of the WTA and ATP tours are qualified for the Olympics. However, entry has been limited to four players from a country. This means that players who are ranked in the top 56 but represent the NOCs with four higher-ranked players already participating do not qualify, allowing players who are ranked outside of the top 56 but from countries with fewer than four players already qualified to compete.

In the men’s and women’s doubles competitions, 32 teams qualify. Up to 10 places are reserved for players in the top 10 of the doubles ranking, who could select any player from their NOC ranked in the top 300. Slots were then allocated to teams with the best-combined ranking until 24 teams had been qualified. If the quota of 86 players in the relevant gender had not yet been met, additional places continued to be allotted via combined ranking. Once the quota was met, remaining teams with both players qualified in the singles were selected based on their best-combined ranking. If this resulted in fewer than 32 teams, additional places were assigned to teams with one player qualified in singles, followed by remaining teams without any singles-qualified players if necessary. One team per gender was reserved for the host nation.

No quota spots were available for mixed doubles; instead, all teams had to consist of players already qualified in the singles or doubles. The top 15 combined ranking teams and the host nation qualified

Each competing nation is allowed to enter a maximum of 8 competitors, 4 men and 4 women. An NOC could only qualify one athlete per weight class. The maximum number of athletes per NOC could be limited due to anti-doping violations. If an NOC had between 10 and 19 violations from the 2008 Summer Olympics period through the end of 2020 qualifying, it was limited to two men and two women. If the NOC had 20 or more violations, it was limited to one man and one woman.

Ranking points could be earned at various weightlifting events with a multiplier based on the level of event (gold events had a 1.1 multiplier, silver 1.05, and bronze 1.0). The best results in each of three periods were considered (1 November 2018 – 30 April 2019; 1 May 2019 – 31 October 2019; 1 November 2019 – 30 April 2021) along with the overall best result.

      • Athletics  

The IAAF continues to set qualifying times, but these are “set for the sole purpose of qualifying athletes with exceptional performances unable to qualify through the IAAF World Rankings pathway.” The number of entrants per event is capped, with different caps for different events varying from 24 athletes for the combined events to 80 athletes for the marathons.

The IAAF world rankings are based on the average of the best five results for the athlete over the qualifying period. The results are weighted by the importance of the meet.

The qualifying time standards may be obtained in various meets during the given period approved by IAAF. The qualifying period for the marathon and the 50km race walk occurs from 1 January 2019 to 31 May 2021 and the qualifying for the 10,000 m, 20km race walk and combined events occurs from 1 January 2019 to 29 June 2021, with the rest of the track and field events happening from 1 May 2019 to 29 June 2021. The most recent Area Championships may be counted in the ranking, even if not during the qualifying period.

For the relays, a maximum of sixteen qualified NOCs shall be entitled to each event. The top eight teams in each event at the 2019 World Championships in Athletics (held in Doha from 28 September to 6 October 2019) guarantee a spot on their respective NOCs for the Olympics. The remaining half in each event are selected according to IAAF World Ranking List as of 29 June 2020 based on the aggregate of the 2 fastest times achieved by NOCs during the given period.

The IAAF Qualifying Standards are as follows:
