Oh come on...I mean, I'm all for spreading a sport, but it would just be unfair if she goes and someone like Gilardoni/Flock/Priedulena/Meylemans wouldn't go..

And that's where Netherlands comes in. They have 2 athletes, if only one gets to go then none of the mentioned names will miss out. The main problem is too few quotas. Women's skeleton is no longer that obscure. They'll probably increase it for the next time, but probably, sadly at the expense of men's skeleton, because that's how IOC operates... #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, for the strength of the competition it's pure luck that one of the two Dutch athletes won't make it. And to think women's skeleton has a higher number of realistic podium contenders than men's skeleton..

Yes, she needs to race at least 5 races on 3 different tracks to be eligible as an athlete. Otherwise, Nigeria is already guaranteed the African quota place.
