^m1Because Kyle Landon did not reach the qualification norm , the sixth-placed Ricky Robertson got the last starting place as the next best athlete with a fulfilled norm.

^m2 Will Claye did not make the qualifying distance of 8.15 m, he missed it by one centimeter, and his best jump of 8.42 m was wind-assisted +5.0 m / s. Fourth was Marquis Dendy , who had also jumped 8.42 m, but lost in the second best jumps against Claye. He was called up to the Olympic team. However, he was unable to compete due to a leg injury. The fifth-placed Mike Hartfield started instead at the Olympic Games

^m3All three hammer throwers did not meet the qualifying distance of 77 meters. But because only 23 athletes in the world achieved the norm, all three were invited by the IAAF to fill the field of 32 throwers.

^m4 Curtis Thompson and Riley Dolezal hadn't met the norm. Instead, Sam Crouser (4th place) and Sean Furey (11th place) got the starting places; both threw the required distance in 2015.
