What would really annoy me is that if the NZOC don't select Campbell Wright to Beijing then I hope like heck he  chooses the USA for future events. 1, He'd get much better support and 2, He won't have to rely on money since he's done it all on his own with no financial assistance from NZ Sport. He's had to find his own coach, borrowed skis etc. Is practically handicapped even before the start line. There's already people in NZ demanding him he go and are putting pressure on the NZOC. If the NZOC can select a no hope Freestyle skier Margaux Hackett who struggles to make top 20 let alone top 16 most of the time and had a few fluke top 10s. Who I guarantee won't make a final of her event, well that reeks of favoritism. It sucks, and I'm not holding out hope he'll be selected. I just hope if he doesn't he goes and skis for the US in the future. At least they'll look after him. I do hope I'm wrong though.

Your fears are unfounded. Of the NZ biathletes, only Campbell received invitation. The NOC of NZ can only approve or decline him.

Ziva's points are no problem at all. The minimum is under 150 IBU points and her total is 88.44 at the moment, so that's easily enough. The bigger question is: what about the much better placed Lena Repinc?!

No, Slovenia haven't quota. Polona and Lena got a personal wild card.....
If Slovenia take Ziva, she couldn't compete in Beijing.

So it should be Polona Klemencic and Lena Repinc, maximum? Hmm, I thought those quotas for the nations outside the top-12 were based on the individual ranking (which they are), but were for the NOC instead of the specific athlete (with the NOC then able to decide which eligible athlete uses the quota). Interesting situation, now I'm curious how it's actually going to be!

    • I remember that in 2017 i do a medal table excluding all the athletes from the big four ( ) and Mongolia won (14 gold, 2nd Taipei with 7). I'm curious to see if this will change.
    • 3 NOCs won their first medal: (in an Olympic event!), and    
    • I have been told these are the 34 NOC's who attended the Chefs de mission meeting recently (doesn't mean these are the final 34 scheduled to compete)    (did not compete in 2017)   (did not compete in 2017)     (debut, curious to see what they will compete in) (debut)         (have only competed in hockey before, but will be in a new sport this time) (debut)        11 NOC's not present:     (the most surprising as they have an active skier atm)          
    • The CANCER  is attacking Lebanon     
    • Copa Libertadores, Copa Sul-americana ans Brazilian footbal league - Football   Nascar Cup playoffs   Thats all I think.
    • Really relaxed week (at least for me), off the top of my head I’ll only be watching the Bills-Jaguars game in NFL, WTT China Smash, Athlos in athletics, the GSOC Hearing Life Tour Challenge and maybe some Canucks pre-season games.    No ATP/WTA tennis. 
    • Wait they are hosting a Skater XL event as their esport thingy? looooooooooool, that's hillarious.
    • After 3 months UEFA have finally acknowledged, that there was a huge mistake in the Germany - Spain match and the Cucurella handball should have been a penalty  Well la di da, that was evident for everyone and their blind dog, except for one fraud named Anthony Taylor and his helpers. Give that man more awards.
