Here's a table of the top 8 results for each country. For mixed team alpine skiing I gave the quarterfinal losers all fifth place. Along with the 29 nations which won a medal, six more achieved top 8 results; of those only Georgia and Kazakhstan achieved multiple top 8 results with Kazakhstan finishing fourth in one event (plus one 5th and three 8ths).

A group of athletes (presumable from unqualified nations, of course) has tried to change the qualification criteria for Beijing. Rather unsurprisingly, that has now been rejected by FIS. If I understood correctly, their main aim was to have more qualifying chances than a single event (world championships a year before the Olympics) and a World Cup nations ranking.

 

I agree partially with them, but only partially: I do think qualifying has been made a tad too hard, but on the other hand, nations with a few at least capable athletes, smart enough to do some basic maths, were able to qualify through the rankings (see Brazil as example, which got an extra ticket that way). Plus we know how shitty the general FIS points system is in alpine skiing and cross-country skiing, as compared to for example the way more fair system of IBU points in biathlon, simply because every FIS race gives points, no matter what the quality is, whereas IBU points can only be earned in serious, competitive and international events with large fields.

 

I believe that Nordic Canada is behind this request, Canada has 4 male and 3 female athletes, but no skiers are eligible due to lack of FIS Point

I dream, there was no test event for the Slopestyle, Half Pipe and Big Air sites?
