Qualification
editThe fifty-four highest ranked athletes per sex on the Europe Triathlon Ranking as of 3 May 2023 are allocated one quota place for their NOC, respecting the maximum quota allocation of three per NOC per event. In case the NOC already obtained the quotas, they will not be allocated these quota places. Any nation which qualifies two men and two women will be eligible for the team event.[3]
Paris 2024 qualification
editTriathlon is one of the events where performance in the 2023 Games impacts indirectly on Olympic qualification, by way of ranking points. The events will therefore be held over the 'Olympic' distances; a 'standard' triathlon consisting of a 1500 metre swim, a 40 km bike ride and a 10 km run for the individual events, and a mixed 'super-sprint' relay consisting of 4 legs of a 350 metre swim, 10 km bike and 2000 metre run.[4]
