He said 2022 is his main ambition anyway but would very much like to try these ones. I guess send his message to the Sports Ministry as much as you can and hope for the best.

uk12points 434 Posted September 22, 2017 #174 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Interesting news here about North Korea: http://www.eurosport.co.uk/winter-sports/ioc-ready-to-provide-north-korean-athletes-with-gear-for-games_sto6342285/story.shtml Looks like the IOC will be funding 5-10 North Korean winter sports athletes with the FIS and ISU to participate in qualification events and training camps. They should be able to qualify in Figure Skating, Short Track Speed Skating and Cross Country Skiing, so hopefully the support is going to these athletes.

ahjfcshfghb 285 Posted September 23, 2017 #175 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Thought I'd confirm it: Steveanus Wihardja says he will be entered in Short Track World Cups 3 and 4. His brother Johannes might be entered as well but that's unconfirmed. He has also asked his federation to enter him in Olympic accreditation. Chances of him qualifying for the Olympics are slim, his best time is around 45 seconds, 5 seconds behind the world's best. There is also no ice rink in Indonesia so he does all of his training on bikes and inline skates. If he gets lucky in one race, though, he can. The points system works so that one 20th place result gives more points than 3 25th places combined. Maybe in the heats if there was a collision in front... It's great that we'll actually see' Indonesia at the World Cup, though. For some reason the federation didn't tell him of the possibility So when I told him he was basically like "what oh that sounds good sign me up".

ahjfcshfghb 285 Posted September 25, 2017 #179 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Looks great! I would suggest also sharing it on the website if you are able to, not just the Facebook page! egyptsportsnetwork.net Also what y'all can do is share the link to the Egyptian Sports Ministry page on Facebook: @EGMoYouth. 'Share' and then 'To page'. If we can put it on the website we can also get a link we can email it with. Wanderer and thepharoah 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intoronto 4,236 Posted October 15, 2017 #180 Share Posted October 15, 2017 (edited) 84 nations have qualified for PyeongChang 2018. I have not included the Cayman Islands as they won't compete and included Ecuador who will make their debut. The following should qualify (all have athletes meeting part of the standard/good enough to qualify): India (cross-country skiing) Philippines (alpine skiing) Hong Kong (alpine skiing) Moldova (cross-country skiing) Venezuela (alpine skiing) Chinese Taipei (speed skating). = 90 Nations The following have athletes just outside qualification, I rate their chances as good. Nigeria (women's bobsled) Jamaica (bobsled) =92 nations The following have athletes just outside qualification, I rate their chances as not that great Algeria (alpine skiing/snowboard) Barbados (freestyle skiing) Costa Rica (freestyle skiing) Nepal (cross country skiing, their athlete needs really good results to have any chance). Paraguay (freestyle skiing) Senegal (alpine skiing) Trinidad and Tobago (cross country skiing, their athlete needs really good results to have any chance). =99 nations Almost no chance to qualify, but have athlete(s) competing to qualify: Afghanistan Dominican Republic (hard to comment, as this athlete has yet to compete). Egypt Indonesia Jordan Sri Lanka Vietnam Tonga Ghana Uganda Tajikistan =110 nations Almost no chance to qualify, but have athlete(s) competing to qualify, but have a small glimmer of hope through reallocation in figure skating: Singapore (their female skater is two spots out of reallocation, and if this were 2010 she would qualify as there were 2 reallocations back then). =111 nations Edited October 15, 2017 by intoronto vinipereira, dcro, Gianlu33 and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
