33 Olympic Quotas, the passes to the 2012 London Olympic Games, were distributed during the Pan American Games, the African Championship and the Oceania Championship.
Three Continental events distributed the last 2012 Olympic Quotas of the year. The XVI Pan American Games – taking place in Guadalajara (MEX) from the 14th to the 23rd of October, the 10th African Championship in 10, 25 and 50m events – held in Cairo from the 15th to the 25th of October, and the Oceania Shooting Championship - hosted in Sydney from the 26th of November to the 2nd of December, distributed a total 33 Olympic Quota Place, the entrance tickets to the 2012 Olympic Games in London. The Quotas that were not assigned during these events will be redistributed in accordance to the rules.
Three-hundred-ninety shooters will participate in the 2012 Olympic Games, which will be opened in London on the 27th of July 2012. The first shooting competition, the 10m Air Rifle Women, will take place on the 28th of July, and will assign the very first medal of the Games among all sports.
Most of the 390 Quota Places available for shooting have already been distributed. Starting from the 2010 ISSF World Championship in all events in Munich - where the first Olympic qualification slots were distributed- athletes from all around the world have tried to secure a pass to the Games throughout the 2011 ISSF World Cup Series and World Championship and the Continental Championships.
The last available Quota Places will be distributed at the beginning of the 2012 season, at the 12th Asian Championship taking place in Doha (QAT) from the 11th of January, and at the European Championship in 10m events held in Vierumaeki (FIN) kicking off on the 14th of February.
