=== Olympic Qualification ===
Before the 1996 Olympics, there were no stringent qualification requirements for participation. Any country could send representatives to compete. However, due to the increasing number of participating countries, the committee implemented the qualification policy in 1996. Athletes were now required to compete within their respective zones to earn qualification for the Olympics. This change made it significantly more challenging for athletes to secure a spot in the Games.
