Following the end of the qualifying period, a total of 86 athletes (38 men and 48 women) were named to the track and field team for the Games; 28 of them managed to achieve their results at the German Championships (19 to 26 June), while the remainder were added through a discretionary selection criteria by the German Athletics Association.
