Olympic qualification[]

The individual events at the 2019 Championships doubled as a direct Olympic Games qualifier event. The following athletes achieved qualification for the Modern pentathlon event in Tokyo 2020 by achieving a top three finish in their respective individual event:

2020 Summer Olympics Qualification
Men Women
 Valentin Belaud (FRA)
 Jun Woong-tae (KOR)
 Volha Silkina (BLR)
 Elena Micheli (ITA)
* Joseph Chung and Kate French, both Great Britain, achieved a top three finishing position to qualify for Tokyo 2020. In both cases, however, the athlete had already previously qualified, and so their quota is vacated, and added to the quotas to be awarded on world ranking points at the end of the qualification period.[2]
