On 25 April 2016, marathon runner Christelle Daunay and race walkers Yohann Diniz and Kévin Campion became the first French athletes to be selected to the Olympic team.[5] Decathlete Kévin Mayer and women's 20 km (12 mi) racewalker Émilie Menuet were named as part of the second batch of nominated athletes to the Olympic roster on 7 June 2016.[6]
A total of 22 athletes (11 per gender) were added to the track and field team for the Games, based on their performances achieved at the French Championships & Olympic Trials ( 24 to 26 June) in Angers, with Mélina Robert-Michon throwing the discus at her fifth straight Games, Kafétien Gomis returning for his second Olympics in the long jump after a 12-year absence, and pole vaulter Renaud Lavillenie aiming to defend his Olympic pole vault title. Other athletes also featured Christophe Lemaitre, middle-distance runner Pierre-Ambroise Bosse, steeplechaser and double Olympic silver medalist Mahiedine Mekhissi-Benabbad, and 2015 Worlds bronze medalist Alexandra Tavernier (women's hammer throw).[7] Twenty-seven more athletes rounded out the French roster at the end of the qualifying period, extending its size to a total of 54.[8][9]

French weightlifters have qualified three men's quota places for the Rio Olympics based on their combined team standing by points at the 2014 and 2015 IWF World Championships. A single women's Olympic spot had been added to the French roster by virtue of a top six national finish at the 2016 European Championships.[92] The team must allocate these places to individual athletes by 20 June 2016.
The weightlifting team was named as part of the second batch of nominated athletes to the Olympic roster on 7 June 2016, with Benjamin Hennequin going to his third straight Olympics.[6] Meanwhile, Kévin Bouly was added to the French weightlifting roster on 24 June 2016, following the omission of several weightlifters from the rankings list at the World Championships and their failure on the doping tests.[93]
