Two reallocations will be hard to come by though. The only somewhat likely one is Kazakhstan declining their second quota. Their second best skater is injured apparently and it doesn't seem like anyone else could reach the MERs. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the Swedish Olympic Committee’s limit for the female skater? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, would be a sad scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intoronto 4,071 Posted October 20, 2017 #185 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Some interesting info: The PC2018 organizing committee has an internal list of countries that have confirmed participation (granted not all will qualify). These ones are on the list (even though they are not in any of the above): Guatemala American Samoa Haiti (I forgot this one on my list above) I wonder what the first two will compete in ? This might be just declaring interest in competing... but their names are in the planning this late. Interesting. Also not on the list are: Puerto Rico Algeria So I doubt they will compete in 2018, similar to how they refused in 2014. Also not on the list are: Dominican Republic Egypt Jordan Vietnam Indonesia (Might be because they started the process late). heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guatemala said they wouldn’t compete, American Samoa was targeting bobsled but in 2022/2026. Interesting. Shame about Algeria too. Though I think they could make 2022 they have a young alpine skier who could improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intoronto 4,071 Posted November 9, 2017 #188 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Not 100% sure on this but... Cheyenne Goh of is into the semifinals (top 23) of the women's 1500m at the Shanghai World Cup. 17th place got 281 points last round. If that is the same case here and Goh isn't disqualified she would up to 24th overall in the 1500m standings (granted all other athlete's points would need to be added, but she likely would still be in the top 36 needed to qualify).

intoronto 4,071 Posted November 11, 2017 #189 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Goh is ranked 34th (top 36 qualify) overall in the women's 1500m. One more event to go, so cross your fingers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
