Yes, as hosts they automatically 'qualified':

Answer 2

Should be, but I'm so into Olympic fever, I have put football on the back burner for 2 weeks. Wasn't it great to see Britain winning an unexpected Gold in cycling? And of course Michael Phelps amazing swim in the 400M IM.

The Czechs have 2 golds in shooting, they must dancing in Prague tonight.

Answer 3

I dont think...because then had the other china athlets even automatically their quallification gotten...and that would be soooooooo unfair....but huh there were a lot china athlets walking in the stadium huh

Answer 4

Only fair as it happens with most other tournaments  

Answer 5

I think that they qualify for most of the sports but probably not all of them because then that would be SO unfair.

Also, GO CANADA GO

Answer 6

I think I heard yesterday (this was during volleyball) that the host teams don't have to qualify, they are automatic.
