Can :NOR in M Individual and :SWE in W Individual enter 5 athletes in Beijing ? The rule about the extra-quota for the reigning olympic champion is still in place ?

 

In this case in both individuals we can have 93 starters, in the sprints 92 (20x4 + 12x1) Interesting JT Boe & H. Oeberg are the only 2 active Olympic champions from the individual events in PC 2018 (the others already retired Dahlmeier, Fourcade, Peiffer and Kuzmina)

 

So now when all this nerve-wracking qualification is finally over, let have a look thow it all ended

 

M

 

:NOR:FRA and :GER  will travel to Beijing with six men, and another seven countries will go with five. These will be :RUS:SWE:ITA:BLR:AUT:UKR and :CZE .

:SLO , :CAN , :SUI , :USA , :FIN , :LTU , :BUL , :BEL , :EST and :SVK can field each four competitors.    

:JPN , :MDA and, with an exception, also host :CHN , earned two places through the IBU qualification points.  :LATBirkentals, :ROU Coltea, :POL Guzik, :KAZ Kiriyev, :KOR Lapshin and :NZL Wright will also travel to Beijing as sole representatives of their respective countries. :CRO Crnkovic remained the first under the line but his hope are not vompletely dead as there chances of refused quotas from previous NOCs (especially :NZL )

 

W

Among women, :NOR and :FRA can count on six competitors, as well as :SWE , five will represent :GER , :BLR , :RUS , :UKR , :AUT , :ITA and :CZE .       Four athletes will have :SUI , :USA , :POL , :CAN , :FIN , :EST , :CHN , :SVK , :JPN and :BUL .

:SLO , :KOR and :MDA won two places from IBU qualification points. One for :KAZ Vishnevskaya, :LAT Bendika, :ROU Ushkina, :LTU Kocergina, :BEL Lie, and 20-year-old Ukaleq Slettemark, who represents Greenland, has won a quota as well, but since the IOC does not recognize :GRL , so she will compete for :DEN

 

So we should have 20 classic relays for both men and women, and 21 in the Mixed Relay

Sadly, Lithuania, Belgium and Poland can not field a Mixed Relay because they qualified 4 + 1 athletes, but :SLO , :JPN and host :CHN will have 4 + 2 competitors, so they can start also in the Mixed relay. Same based on the qualification points for :MDA with two women and two men qualified.

No, this rule just for World Championships.

But in mass start any country can partipicate 5 athletes.

I know Guzik has been confirmed and Wright and Lapshin are obvious choices. But the quotas are not nominative. So for :LAT it could also be Patrijuks, for :ROU I guess Shamaev, Buta or Puchianu are possible choices, and Mukhin for :KAZ.

Same applies for the women, :LTU will probably send Lescinskaite.

Latvia will not have a male quota unless via reallocation

:mumble:

They removed the quota for Latvia since it was earned by Rastorgujevs.

They added :KAZ.

They removed the 2nd quota for China since it was not in the top 12, to give it via "host country places" (+1 another one).
So that's only 11 quota via the IBUQP, why is :CRO not included ?

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
