Qualification
editThere were 172 badminton quota places, with an equal split between men and women, were available for Paris 2024; NOCs can enter a maximum of eight badminton players across five medal events (men's and women's singles; men's, women's, and mixed doubles).[3] The host nation France reserves a spot each in the men's and women's singles to be officially awarded to its respective highest-ranked badminton player, while four places (two per gender) were entitled to the eligible NOCs interested to have badminton players compete for Paris 2024 under the Universality principle.[4][5]
The remaining badminton players must undergo a direct qualifying process to secure a spot in their respective categories for Paris 2024 through the "Race to Paris" ranking list prepared by the Badminton World Federation.[5] The qualification period commenced on 1 May 2023 and concluded on 28 April 2024, with the final eligibility list published two days after the deadline.[5]
NOCs may enter a maximum of two players each in the men's and women's singles if they were ranked within the top sixteen of the "Race to Paris" ranking list, respectively; otherwise, they will send a single player until the roster of thirty-eight was completed. Similar protocols also apply to the players competing in the doubles tournament as the NOCs could enter a maximum of two pairs if they were ranked in the top eight with the rest entitled to a single pair until the quota of sixteen was reached. Additional rules ensure that each category must feature a badminton player representing each of the five continental zones (Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania) and assign additional quota places if some players qualify for multiple events.[5]
