Following the completion of the 2016 UCI Track Cycling World Championships, U.S. riders have accumulated spots in the women's team pursuit, as well as both the men's and women's omnium.

In February 2016, Mariel Zagunis, a double Olympic champion (2004 and 2008), and Ibtihaj Muhammad, the first U.S. athlete to compete at the Games in a hijab, were the first two fencers to earn selection to the U.S. Olympic team by finishing in the top two of the national women's sabre team rankings.[26] They were eventually joined by Alexander Massialas and Gerek Meinhardt in men's foil and siblings Courtney and Kelley Hurley in the women's épée.[27][28] Sabre fencers Eli Dershwitz and Daryl Homer, along with 2012 Olympians Lee Kiefer and Nzingha Prescod, both in women's foil, had claimed their spots on the U.S. team by finishing among the top 14 in the FIE Adjusted Official Rankings, while Jason Pryor did so as the highest ranking men's épée fencer coming from the America zone.[29]

The full U.S. Olympic team will be announced on April 11, 2016 at the USA Fencing Division I National Championships in Richmond, Virginia.[30]
