D. QUALIFICATION PATHWAY
The Women’s Park and Street events and Men’s Park and Street events will each be comprised of exactly 20 athletes: the three (3) highest placed in the 2020 Season World Skate World Skateboarding Championship events will be directly qualified. Sixteen (16) will be qualified through the Olympic World Skateboarding Rankings (OWSR) and one (1) Host Country place will be allocated to the highest ranked Host Country skateboarders in each event.
The Olympic World Skateboarding Rankings (OWSR) are sanctioned by World Skate and will be listed at http://www.worldskate.org. The OWSR are issued every Tuesday following completion of the previous week’s contests from around the world.
The OWSR recognise World Skate-sanctioned National Championship, Continental Championship, and World Championship events.
The Women’s and Men’s Street OWSR recognise official prize money events from the Pro Tour TBD and the following 5-Star events: TBD.
The Women’s and Men’s Park OWSR recognise official prize money events from the Pro Tour TBD and the following 5-Star events: TBD.
Points will be awarded at the following events during the qualifying period:
World Championships Pro Tour Events (TBD) 5-Star Events (TBD) Continental Championships National Championships
The OWSR is calculated as follows: Each event has a specified maximum point total which determines how many ranking points will be awarded to top finishers. Points are awarded to athletes based on their finish positions in each event, in both the prelims (top 32 finishers) and the finals (top 12 finishers). The points available at each event will be published at http://www.worldskate.org as of 1 July 2018.
Ranking points for each athlete accumulate over the qualifying period. The top 3 points results from the 2019 season (1 Jan 2019 – 15 September 2019) will be added to the highest 6 points results from the 2020 Season (16 September 2019 – 31 May 2020) to establish the athletes final position in the OWSR. In case of a tie, the next highest points result from the 2020 season will be used to break the tie, repeated with additional highest results until the tie is broken.
OWSR ranking points to qualify for the Olympic Games, which are used to calculate the athlete’s position on the OWSR, can be earned during the period beginning 1 January 2019 and up to and including 31 May 2020.
