TOKYO 2020 – HOW SELECTION WORKS

■ Up to 18 of 40 places will be reserved for WSL Championship Tour (CT) competitors (10 men and eight women).

■ The remaining 22 places will be determined at the 2019 and 2020 ISA World Surfing Games, the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, and a single slot (each for men and women) for the host nation (Japan).

■ Surfers must make themselves available for national teams to compete in the ISA World Surfing Games in 2019 and 2020.

■ The final decision on the complete process is subject to the approval of the Executive Board of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) at its meeting in February 2018.
