Can in M Individual and 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

 

and   will travel to Beijing with six men, and another seven countries will go with five. These will be and .

, , , , , , , , and can field each four competitors.    

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

 

W

Among women, and can count on six competitors, as well as , five will represent , , , , , and .       Four athletes will have , , , , , , , , and .

, and won two places from IBU qualification points. One for Vishnevskaya, Bendika, Ushkina, Kocergina, Lie, and 20-year-old Ukaleq Slettemark, who represents Greenland, has won a quota as well, but since the IOC does not recognize , so she will compete for . 

 

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 , and host will have 4 + 2 competitors, so they can start also in the Mixed relay. Same based on the qualification points for 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  it could also be Patrijuks, for  I guess Shamaev, Buta or Puchianu are possible choices, and Mukhin for .

Same applies for the women,  will probably send Lescinskaite.

Does anyone know if the IBU has a list like the FIS, where you can see which nation uses how many quota places?

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

They added .

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  not included ?
