Sailing at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Qualification

This article details the qualifying phase for sailing at the 2020 Summer Olympics (postponed to 2021^[2] due to the COVID-19 pandemic). 350 quota places for the Games are entitled to the sailors coming from their respective NOCs, based on the results at designated regattas supervised by World Sailing. Host nation Japan has been guaranteed one quota place in each of the ten classes.

The qualification period commences at the 2018 Sailing World Championships in Aarhus, Denmark, where about forty percent of the total quota will be awarded to the highest finishing NOCs. Six places will be available in the men's Laser and women's Laser Radial classes at the 2018 Asian Games and 2019 Pan American Games, whereas sixty-one more will be distributed to the sailors at the World Championships for all boats in 2019. Moving towards 2021 because of the consequent Olympic postponement and the COVID-19 pandemic, continental qualification regattas will be held to decide the remainder of the total quota, while two spots each in the one-person dinghy classes will be granted to eligible NOCs through the Tripartite Commission Invitation.^[3]^[1]

Notes

^ In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, World Sailing supports the decision from the IOC and Tokyo 2020 organizing committee on the postponement of the Olympics; therefore, the qualification system will be revised with the remaining meets scheduled to happen by late 2020 or early 2021.^[9]
