Biathlon at the Winter Olympic Games Beijing 2022

[heywoodu 16,465]

IBU has added the qualifying points list on their website  

 

 

I had been 'asking' for that for years (already the previous Olympics), because this is such an incredibly important qualifying tool for athletes outside the big nations, but it had always purposefully been kept hidden. Finally some transparency  

[heywoodu 16,465]

I don't think there is a way to export this list to something like a CSV or even a text file or whatever, right?  Can't select it, so can't copy it. That's alright, the main thing is the list finally being there, but it'd have made it a bit easier to work with it.

 

 

Anyhow, as of now, the women's standing is as follows (don't mind the awkward format). Top-12 goes to the Olympics, if I'm not mistaken, taking into consideration a maximum of two per NOC and two automatically for China. Meaning those in bold would be qualified with the current ranking (or would have qualified a spot for their NOC, I should say). I can't see very big changes happening in the coming months, especially the likes of Bendika, Repinc etc should not have much of a problem if they have a somewhat normal season.

This list also takes into account an additional trimester that's no longer eligible. Kaisa Makarainen is still in the list and she didn't start anywhere last year. Therefore, a lot of the numbers right now are wrong here, regarding qualification. Kočergina, for example, is only 9th right now in the actual list if I'm not mistaken, and Leščinskaitė got up to 10th place after a successful start in yesterday's sprint.

Which trimester does it take into account that it shouldn't (for today's ranking I mean, so not for the final ranking in January yet)? Shouldn't it simply be the previous three completed trimesters or something like that?

 

Genuine question, I have no idea which results exactly are counted in this case

I think it's picking up on the final trimester of 2019-20 season, including the IBU European Championships. 

 

It's probably picking up the World Champs from that season as well, only way I can explain Kočergina having such a good position.

Well our team is nowhere to be safe for the 4 quotas. Currently 18th in the olympic qualification only a couple of points ahead of Bulgaria and not far at all from the 21st place. So I would also at least keep an eye on the Fialková sisters IBU points.

I know, but I had to go with some starting point, so I only counted athletes from countries not currently in the top-20  

 

It's not meant as a definitive list, but mostly to at least have a bit of a sense of what is and is not realistic. Like if you've got 150 points on the current list, you'll need a huge, huge season to stand a chance, whereas with sub-50 points you're in an excellent position.

[prso1000 740]

At least based on current list (I know it will change) and top 20 nations 

Crnkovic would be in as 10th and last 😂

I assumed the Latvian guy is banned right? 
otherwise in 2x Japan, 2x Moldova, 2xRomania, 1x Poland, 1x Kaz, 1x NZL 

and 2x CHN

Yep, Rastorgujevs is banned which is a major blow for M team, In other hand I am pretty sure Japan will overtake them and qualify a full relay, their male team is really competitive.

Can you send me the rankings for the Olympics? I want to know if we have a chance to qualify the men's relay.
