The names have been trickling in, one or two at a time. Over the next two months, that trickle will turn into a flood.
By the time the festivities begin in Paris on July 26, some 10,500 athletes from more than 200 countries will be able to call themselves 2024 Olympians.
From archery to wrestling, each of the 32 sports on the Olympic program has different qualifying criteria.
Some athletes have been racking up wins, or points, over the past year and already have secured their spots. Many more — for instance, more than 85% of the spots on the U.S. team have yet to be filled — won’t know their fate until May or June, when they compete at their own country’s Olympic trials. At dozens of meets around the world, even the best will have to prove themselves one more time to officially be placed on their country’s Olympic roster.
A glance at who’s in and who still has work to do:
