Under the qualification rules for the 2016 Games, an NOC which failed to gain a specific team place, but did qualify three individual riders, was entitled to enter those riders as a 'composite' team in the team event. In the event,  Denmark was the only nation to achieve this, and was therefore granted an entry in the team event.

Switzerland later declined one of the individual quotas what resulted in withdrawing from team competition as well.
