The 2024 Olympic Qualifier Series was a sporting event held in May and June 2024 in Shanghai and Budapest, respectively. This two-part series was the inaugural edition of a multi-sport Olympic qualifying event, which determined the athletes who will compete in the 2024 Summer Olympics in BMX freestyle, breaking, skateboarding, and sport climbing.
Background In April 2022, International Olympic Committee announced the plans for a four-sport, festival-style qualification event for what it described as "urban sports"—BMX freestyle, breaking, skateboarding, and sport climbing—in city-centre venues. The series was a part of the organisation's efforts to promote the Olympic qualifying process outlined in its Olympic Agenda 2020+ project, which cited the success of urban sports at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. The inaugural edition would take place between March and June 2024.
The IOC announced the two host cities, Shanghai and Budapest, in October 2023. Shanghai was to be the first stop of the series, with events held at the Huangpu Riverside from 16 to 19 May 2024, while the Budapest stage would be held from 20 to 23 June at the Ludovika Campus of the National University of Public Service. Budapest previously hosted the inaugural World Urban Games in 2019.
The final day of the series, 23 June, coincided with the annual Olympic Day, and marked the end of the qualifying process for the 2024 games.
Qualification format The competition overseen by the respective international governing bodies of the four individual sports: the World DanceSport Federation (WDSF), the International Cycling Union, World Skate, and the International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC).
A total of 464 athletes from four sports competed for just over 150 places in the 2024 Olympic Games, with an equal number of places for men and women. Athletes in BMX freestyle, sport climbing, and breaking earned up to 50 points each in Shanghai and Budapest, for a maximum of 100 points total. In skateboarding, a third of the points were awarded from past events, and the remaining two-thirds were earned in Shanghai and Budapest. The athletes with the most points qualified for places in Paris.
