Each nation could earn Olympic berths at several tournaments. The U.S. qualified in two of the four weight classes (two men, two women). The two athletes who earned those slots, Nia Abdallah and Steven Lopez, were given byes to the final round of Olympic trials, a one-on-one showdown June 5 in San Jose, Calif. Other athletes faced each other in a series of preliminaries for the right to face Abdallah and Lopez in the finals. Abdallah and Lopez defeated their challengers to earn trips to Athens.
