390 Olympic Quota Places, the “entrance tickets” to the 2012 Olympic Games in London, will be distributed by the ISSF throughout the 2010, 2011 and the 2012 shooting seasons. The first 69 Quota Places will be assigned to the best performers at the 50th ISSF World Championship in all shooting events, which will take place in Munich starting from the 29th of July. The World Championship is therefore going to be one of the first Olympic qualifying events of the 2012 Games among all Olympic sports. The remaining Quota Places will then be distributed during the next shooting seasons through ISSF World Cups, ISSF World Championships and Continental Championship.
