Qualification
editThere were 10 events in total, 5 each for men and women. Each medal event had twelve athletes competing (120 overall).
Quotas could be obtained in four ways:[5]
- World Ranking list (up to 60) :The six highest ranked athletes in each weight category on the World Para Taekwondo Paralympic Ranking list of January 2024 each obtained one qualification slot for their NPC, up to the maximum quota of one athlete per NPC per event. Any slots that could not be allocated under this method were allocated via the Bipartite Commission Invitation method
- Continental qualification (up to 50) : The highest ranked athlete in each medal event at each of the five Continental Qualification Tournaments obtained one qualification slot for their NPC. In each sex, only those NPCs that had not yet obtained three or more qualification slots through the allocation method above may have entered athletes in these Tournaments. The number of entries per NPC was limited to the number of slots remaining to reach the maximum quota of three qualification slots per sex. Any slots that could not be allocated under this method were allocated via the Bipartite Commission Invitation method.
- Host Quota (up to 5) : The host country, France, directly earned five slots, one in each of the five (5) medal events where France had the highest ranked athletes on the World Para Taekwondo Paralympic Ranking of January 2024, subject to at least two of the athletes being female. Should France have obtained any slots via the other allocation methods above, the respective reserved slots would have been allocated via the Bipartite Commission Invitation method.
- Bipartite Commission (5+) : A minimum of five eligible athletes were considered by the IPC and WT for Bipartite Commission Invitation slots, and athletes could have been selected by this method up to the total quota of 12 per medal event.
