... it's 107 total quotas to help China reach 4 quotas per gender and attend the relay...

How can China attend the relay with 1+2=3 quotas?

I hate my work for making me miss Justine winning an Olympic title... I don't know how I would've reacted if I'd seen it live!   My dad sent me a text telling me she won and I seriously thou

it didn’t write clearly. Actually China get one IBU ranking quota by itself and then get one original host quota(1). In this scenario the total quotas is 105. Since China is not in top20 so IBU gave China two more additional quotas without affecting other NOCs. That’s the 1+2 and total 107 quotas.

Now i got it. It's 1+1+2 = 4.

Baiba Bendika is lightly pissed (at their cross country federation) :p  (can't say I disagree with her, if at the very least they had said earlier they wouldn't select her anyway, she wouldn't have made several large detours to score good points....plus anyway she is simply the second-best Latvian, far ahead of the rest)

Well, they can still select her for the relay, though I guess she will refuse that now out of bitterness?


Pitty, with Eiduka on an early classic leg, and Bendika going 3rd, the Latvians could have presented a fairly decent relay.

I think she'd refuse the relay more because of the biathlon program: XC relay is on the one day between the biathlon sprint and pursuit, whereas the 30k is the day after the last biathlon race.

I see. But can't say I agree with her here. She may be better than 3/4 skiers, but Latvia would probably rather have a relay, with atheltes who will also enter mutiple individual events, instead of having Bendika swoop in for one event only.

If there are indeed two options:

 

1. Relay, but no Bendika

2. Bendika, but no relay

 

I can indeed imagine a country goes for the relay one. I am not sure I would entirely agree with it, but I would at least understand it (and I am aware I am definitely biased in her favour in this case). Main thing is that they could have said this earlier, one would imagine...but yeah, who knows :p

Ukaleq Slettemark will be in the Olympics representing Denmark.  She wants to beat her dad's placing of 85th in the Sprint and Individual.

      I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.

      I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.

      The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.

      Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....

      The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.

      The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR

      That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.

      How Many Medals do You Expect from Your Nation at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026？

      By JockCartier · Posted

      I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird

      So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
