I'm not sure that is correct.   Firstly I don't think the UCI have updated the rankings this week to show the final situation. So the calculations below are using last week's rankings (updat

Yeah, I'd seen that as well. If I got a pound/euro/dollar for every incorrect piece of sporting info on wiki....I'd have several more pounds/euros/dollars than I do now!

Apparently belief in a Brazilian woman qualifying isn't very big in Brazil, due to changes compared to Tokyo's qualifying system. What exactly changed (for a country like Brazil)? I heard something about certain races not counting anymore, which is negative for countries like Brazil, but not sure about the details.

Looks like they have disabled points farming on small-time races. Only the top tier races will count.

 

To be honest, Brazil was not really the frontrunner in the points farming department. Some other nations will suffer much more (and consequently will fail to qualify this time around).

Well if the end result is the same (no real shot at a ticket given their current quality), the damage in the end is kind of the same :p

Where did you find that? In the qualification document I see "The events included in the UCI Mountain Bike Olympic Qualification ranking can be found here", and then it links to: https://www.uci.org/calendar/mtb/1voMyukVGR4iZMhMlDfRv0?discipline=MTB


Which is just the UCI MTB calendar page :mumble:

I was hoping for UCI to prepare an Olympic Ranking as well with their newest update of the World Ranking. But maybe the Totallympians will sum up, how it goes week by week?

Are all the World Cup competitions counted for the Olympic Qualification Ranking (cross-country, U23, short track)? Or only cross-country?

Short XCO counts too, but it's totally insignificant, the winner get 10 points (for compare, the national XCO championship winner get 100 points)

      Are the 'socials' in your countries also full with people saying the running order is to prevent country X from winning, help country Y and so on?

      Moldova would compete this year, but pulled out due to a lack of qualify (officially). But yeah, it would be good for Eastern European countries' chances if more of them are back again.

      And we also have the Seiko Golden Grand Prix from Tokyo - just one step down from the DL, but usually with lots of big names competing, especially after the Relays in China last weekend.   Kitaguchi, Mahuchikh and Richardson target Tokyo triumphs | PREVIEWS | World Athletics

      It's finals weekend in all the regional NCAA Conference Championships, so bound to be lots of big times and very likely WLs.  Sadly  we in Europe no longer get ESPN coverage of these big meets and PAC-12 doesn't exist anymore.  So the only thing we can see FTA are the Mountain West Championships, which is Division I, mostly specialising in Distance and Throws.   Mountain West Conference

      Out of the more traditional songs, I like this one best alongside Serbia. For the final, hope Sweden doesn't win for once. The song is fine, but for their standards a bit mid. And I have seen enough Sweden for the last few years to see a mid entry from them winning.      Moldova seems to come back next year. Which is a good thing, they often have fun, memorable and unique songs

      I am glad that you all liked the song. She is a good artist, I saw her live last year as an opening act for a more famous Greek singer but did not know of course that she would be representing us in Eurovision    She has a strong voice and the song is very beautiful because it is inspired by the Pontian Greek Genocide (Pontians are a subgroup of Greeks with a different dialect that lived in the Black Sea area for thousands of years, probably about 10% or 20% of Greeks today have at least partial Pontian ancestry) which took place after World War I and unfortunately is not talked about enough in the world. It is also connected with the Armenian Genocide (committed by the same people) which of course Hitler used as inspiration for the Holocaust which is much more well known.   Of course they won't admit that the song is about this to avoid disqualification but there are many references in the music video (maps, traditional costumes, landmarks) that make it extremely obvious. Klavdia's great grandparents were refugees from this genocide and unlike most other refugees who moved to Greece, they ended up in exile in the former Soviet Union and her grandparents and parents were born in Kazakhstan and could only move to Greece in the early 1990s (as most other Greeks who were stuck in the Soviet Union did as well - for example we had a few weightlifters win medals in Atlanta and Sydney that were from these communities) where Klavdia was born. So even though Klavdia's ancestry was always Greek, her and her sister are the first ones in their family to ever be born in Greece.   I know it is unlikely but it would be incredible if she could win Eurovision and bring the trophy back to Greece, especially since 19 May is the annual Pontian Greek Genocide remembrance day and she would possibly arrive back in Greece on that day.
