Qualification system A total of 205 rowers will qualify to compete at the games. A country may only enter a maximum of 26 rowers. All qualification was done at the 2014 Pan American Olympic Festival, where a specific number of boats qualified in each of the fourteen events (except the men's eights which will be by entry only). The host nation (Canada) and the United States were granted automatic qualification in all the events. Any remaining athlete quota spots after teams are selected, will be redistributed to fill the maximum quota. Qualification timeline Qualification summary The maximum allowed is 209 athletes, but some athletes will double up which means a total of much less than 209.
