Powerlifting at the 2016 Summer Paralympics – Qualification


This article details the qualifying phase for Powerlifting at the 2016 Summer Paralympics. The competition at these Games will comprise a total of 180 athletes coming from their respective NPCs; each has been allowed to enter a maximum of 16. 140 will be awarded places based on world rankings in 2016, while 40 are made available to NPCs through a Bipartite Commission Invitation.
The top 8 men and top 6 women from the world rankings in each division earn a quota a place, always ensuring that the NPC is subjected to a limit of 1 lifter per division. If an NPC contains more than a single male athlete ranked in the top 8, or a single female in the top 6 of the world ranking list, the NPC can decide which of their athletes obtain the quota places
