Athletics

British track and field athletes achieved the entry standards for Paris 2024, either by passing the direct qualifying mark (or time for track and road races) or by world ranking, in the following events (a maximum of 3 athletes each): The selection policy of UK Athletics is that to accept a world ranking invite, the athlete must meet either the qualification standard itself, or in certain cases a slightly lower UK Athletics standard. As a result, not all eligible athletes will necessarily be selected to travel to Paris.[4][5]

Canoeing

Slalom

Great Britain initially qualified a boat in the men's C-1 class at the 2023 European Games in Kraków, Poland.[7] However, this was superseded when they secured a quota in this class at the 2023 ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships at Lee Valley in Greater London. They also qualified boats in the men's K-1 and the women's C-1 and K-1 classes at this event. All slalom canoeists qualified can also take part in the new Olympic extreme kayak/kayak cross discipline.[8][9]

Team GB announced their squad for Paris on 15 November 2023. The experienced team includes former Olympic men's K-1 champion and current world champion in both this and the KX-1 discipline Joe Clarke, as well as Tokyo women's C-1 silver medallist and reigning world champion Mallory Franklin and current women's KX-1 world champion Kimberley Woods. Although C1 canoeist Adam Burgess is eligible to compete in the KX-1 kayak cross event as a C1 slalom entrant, his participation in the second event has not been confirmed.[10]
