At total of two countries in each gender will qualify the maximum of three athletes, while six countries will qualify two men, (four for women), seven countries will qualify one quota in the men's event and 11 for the women's. If the host nation China fails to qualify in an event, the highest ranked sled from the country will take the last qualification slot. [2]
