The qualification systems for all 32 sports on the Paris 2024 sports programme were approved by the IOC EB this week. These outline the various ways in which athletes and National Olympic Committees can qualify for the Paris 2024 Games.
The criteria for all Sports will be published over the course of the following week by respective federations and we will be doing an explainer on how Indian athletes will be able to qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympics in coming days.
At Paris Olympics, there will be 32 Sports consisting of 329 medal events. The events will be spread across 19 days in 2024.
The 2024 Paris Olympics will also be the first fully gender-balanced Games, with exactly 50 per cent male and female participation.
Some already announced changes for the Paris 2024 Olympics are as follows:
- In Boxing, there will be 7 weight categories in Men and 6 weight categories in Women. At Tokyo Olympics, there were 8 weight categories in Men and 5 in Women.
- In weightlifting, there will be equal number of weight categories in Men and Women – 5 each. At Tokyo Olympics, weightlifting had 7 weight categories each for Men and Women. So, there is a reduction of weight categories in Weightlifting.
