The qualification system for the archery competition at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games has been officially approved by the International Olympic Committee and released by World Archery.
The document outlines the number of quota places, the events at which they are available, and the deadlines for entries.
There will be 128 archery competitors – 64 men and 64 women at Tokyo 2020 – with nearly half of the quota available at the main qualifying tournament, the 2019 World Archery Championships.
Of the 64 places, 59 will be available in competition, three reserved for the host country and two allocated via the tripartite commission.
