Each of the two Olympic Qualifier Series events will celebrate sport and culture, with music, fashion, and art to create a true festival experience. These events will pose the final opportunity for athletes to compete in this year’s Olympic Games, with over half of the qualification spots in these four sports coming directly from the series.
