Boxing

Brazil has been guaranteed five male boxers at the Games and one female entrant by virtue of being the host nation. At the 2015 World Championships, Robson Conceição had claimed one of the reserved places for the team, allowing its unused "host nation" berth to be redistributed to the rest of the boxers under the Americas continent in the lightweight division.[8][9] Five other boxers (four men and one woman) had been invited by the Brazilian Confederation to use the special "host" vacancies for the Games, while Juan Nogueira had claimed his Olympic spot on the Brazilian team at the 2016 American Qualification Tournament in Buenos Aires, Argentina.[10][11]

Shooting

As the host nation, Brazil has been awarded a minimum of nine quota places in each of the following events. In addition, a shooter that has qualified for one event may compete in others without affecting the quotas, as long as they obtained a minimum qualifying score (MQS) by March 31, 2016.[32]

2010 Youth Olympic pistol champion Felipe Almeida Wu and rifle specialist Cassio Rippel became the only Brazilian shooters to attain a direct nomination to the Olympic team with their gold medal triumphs at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto, Canada.[33] Following the end of the qualifying period, Brazilian Confederation had selected six other shooters (Schmits, Carraro, Teixeira, Portela, Duarte, and Ewald) to use the "host" vacancies for the Games.[34] 2008 Olympian Júlio Almeida had occupied an exchanged spot in the women's air pistol with the additional counterpart to round out the Brazilian roster at the completion of the ISSF World Cup meet in Rio de Janeiro.[35]

A total of 32 swimmers (21 men and 11 women), highlighted by London 2012 silver medalist and incoming four-time Olympian Thiago Pereira, had been selected to the Brazilian team for the home Olympics, the largest in history. Notable absence in the roster was 2008 Olympic champion and multiple-time World record holder César Cielo, who missed out on an individual spot in the 50 m freestyle.[39]

Team N/A

Table tennis

Brazil has fielded a team of six table tennis players (three men and three women) at the 2016 Olympics, as the host nation is automatically entitled to use these places.[40] Hugo Calderano was first selected to the table tennis team by claiming the Olympic spot in the men's singles at the 2015 Pan American Games, while his teammate Gustavo Tsuboi, along with Lin Gui and Caroline Kumahara, both competing in the women's singles, did so at the Latin American Qualification Tournament, allowing their "host" places to be redistributed to the next highest table tennis player in the ITTF Olympic Rankings.[41]

As the host nation, Brazil has received a guaranteed place for each gender.[45] Because the host nation has dominated the podium to seal another place each in both the men's and women's tournaments at the 2015 FIVB World Championships, Brazil ensures a maximum of two teams to take part in each competition.[46][47] On September 16, 2015, the Brazilian Olympic Committee announced the names of the teams in both men's and women's beach volleyball.[48]
