Regarding the men's qualifying, Sweden declined its quota place which was reallocated to Portugal.
Regarding the women's qualifying, The Netherlands declined its only quota place and Norway one of its spots. These were, in the first instance, reallocated to Hungary and Spain. Spain declined the place and it was reallocated to Japan.
