In the event that no athletes qualify, SA will follow the rules set by IOC and World Athletics for UNIVERSALITY PLACES (UNQUALIFIED ATHLETES).

• • A. NOCs with no male or female qualified athlete or relay team will be allowed to enter their best-ranked male athlete or their best-ranked female athlete in one athletic event, with the exception of the Combined Events, 10,000m and 3000m Steeplechase.

B. This applies equally to unqualified female entries from a NOC with qualified males, and vice versa.

C. Acceptance of unqualified entries in Field Events and Road Events will be at the discretion of the World Athletics Technical Delegates, based on the technical standard of the athlete and the numbers of qualified athletes in the respective event. In order to allow the World Athletics Technical Delegates to assess the technical level of such athletes, a specific application form indicating the event in which the entry is requested and the proof of the technical level and international participation of the nominated athlete must be submitted to World Athletics. World Athletics shall subsequently confirm, in writing to NOCs, with a copy to the Tokyo 2020 Sport Entries Department, the approval or otherwise of the entry of the specified athlete(s).

D. The application forms of all unqualified athletes must be submitted by NOCs to World Athletics no later than 21 June 2021. For Marathon and 50km Race Walk the application form for unqualified athletes must be submitted by NOCs to World Athletics no later than 23 May 2021.

Athletes’ performances under the qualification period will be ranked using percentile under WA’s scoring table.

For example:

100m Women 11.15s Qualification time
[(Qualification time - Season best) / Qualification time] x 100%
[(1167 - 1077) / 1167] x 100%

• • =

7.71% off qualification time.

High Jump Men 2.33m Qualification height
[(Qualification distance/height - Distance/height measured) / Qualification distance/height] x 100%
[(1206 - 1045) / 1206] x 100%
= 13.34% off qualification distance/height.
