What’s different in the qualification process for 2024?

The IOC introduced the Olympic Qualifying Series (OQS); Two events which take place in Shanghai (May 2024) and Budapest (June 2024). The top 44 skateboarders (per discipline / per gender), 176 in total, are allocated place at these events, with a maximum of 6 per gender / per discipline for each country. The OQS competitions carry a much greater weighting of points (almost X3 that of a World Championships), meaning that any competitor can quickly accumulate a lot of points with a god result at either of these events. Competitors also carry forward their points from previous Olympic qualifying events.
