Qualification Rules

Each country in the Games can be represented by no more than eight athletes (one in each category), provided that they have received this right according to their place in the world ranking (6 best athletes in each category). If, on the basis of the rating, the NOC received less than four licenses, then it has the right to nominate its athletes to participate in continental qualification tournaments, but then the maximum quota is reduced to 4 athletes. Olympic licenses are not registered, but in the case of quotas obtained from the world ranking, the NOC may include another athlete in the same weight category (instead of the taekwondo player who brought the Olympic license) if he is from December 2015 to June 2016 will be among the top 20 points. All other quotas will be distributed according to the results of continental qualifications, as well as decisions of the tripartite commission.
